I second this statement. The problem that we have is trying to work within our means. Most years I'm scared that we will make it to worlds as I'm not sure we could pull together the funds to go. We don't have the funds for a second regional and definitely don't have enough for a second robot. It was great this year to have the old CRIO around just to have something to practice driving. I would love to see somebody give the best tips for teams that are trying to do the best they can with limited resources.
