Pre season prep suggestions?

[Konradd]

Speaking on behalf of my FRC team, we are looking into how other teams prepare for the competition before the 6 week build period. Do you have a basis for your build before the season starts, such as a basic frame that you can build upon? We found that we were starting almost ground up for all of our robot because we didn't have any suitable systems in place that would provide us any benefit. The main problem came down to time, and we are looking into ways to shave off the days we spent carrying out tasks we could have carried out before the build period.
