I remember a saying that goes something like

Good robots with bad drivers can lose.
Bad robots with good drivers can win.
Good robots with good drivers can dominate.

That being said, we usually get software to around 80-90% then let the drivers learn to drive the thing. The last 20% takes 80% of the time. (Pareto principle)

One that our mentor likes is "a 100% robot with 50% drivers is a 50% robot."
