The purpose of practice robots in off season competitions has become a hot topic in the
2012 Texas Robot Roundup thread. It is an interesting topic and deserves some exploration. How have you used your practice robots in the off season? How have you seen them used? How have they benefited you or other teams that you know of?
This is slightly different from the discussions that question the importance of the practice robot but, that is certainly an element of this discussion and is welcome to be explored/discussed, too.
