We design and build the best robot we can with the resources we have - regardless of what other teams are doing.
Although this is what teams should do and many teams do it, the motivation that comes from knowing that the only way you will make it to the champs is by defeating a powerhouse can be quite powerful. There are some regionals im sure that there are know powerhouses that attend and so although you try and be the best you can, in the back of the thier mind they still know that they only need to defeat a team that is only so good to make it to champs. Also by having a powerhouse team local to you, it is much easier to see just how good they are to give you a scale of how good your bot needs to be.
