above all else, a practice robot and a practice field is a must. We didn't even start programming our code until at least a week after the competition robot shipped. Thank god for 173 and their practice field.
Personally I think that this years competition is a bit biased against rookie teams. Veterans who have the funds to build duplicate robots and have access to fully sized practice fields have an enourmous advantage over those who don't . I'm not complaining (being a member of one of those lucky teams), but I do think that its something FIRST might want to look into for the future.
