So I was wondering, are there any teams that have found ways to get access to practice for their Drivers.
For example I was thinking of the possibility of having a replica robot being built simultaneously along with their actual robot. Of course, building one robot is enough of a challenge.

Tons of teams do this, especially the elite teams. Driver skill is one of the biggest deciding factors in alliance selections, so drivers who have been practicing for weeks usually perform better.
