Do you think a practice robot is needed to compete?

As others have mentioned, you don't "need" a practice robot to compete, but I feel it helps if you can pull it off.

We have had practice robots in the past few years that aren't as complete as the competition one, for drive practice and working out programming etc.

There should be a category:
"We build one if we have the time and resources to be better prepared for competition"

We are going to try to build (2) robots this year as complete as possible for better practice and fixing problems as the season progresses.

Pretty clearly we should add some options to this poll I slammed together.
I don't see a way to change this on this forum. Is there a way?

I was more curious to see if there was a significant majority leaning towards wanting or needing a practice bot and so far there is good reason to look into this further.
