Killer alliance partners and making sure to help as many teams as possible to improve. Your alliance is only as strong as your weakest link. We spent a good portion of our time sending mentors to help other teams. We actually had a couple mentors designated to specific rookie teams to help them throughout quals.

Increasing the overall competitiveness of the field helps you more than it hurts you, and of course for the sake of co-opertition.

Disclaimer: I am an outsider to CA FIRST.

To piggy back onto this point the quality of robots/play at Silicon Valley is higher than most regionals. I there appeared to be less "bricks on wheels" at this event which is certainly helped by coopertition and helping other teams improve.

Also skimming 1678's schedule they had 254, 971, 1323 and 2035 as partners.

On an unrelated note, why was there no webcast by 1678 at this event? I highly enjoy your high definition recordings as well as graphic overlays; I would prefer them over 240p ones all day.
