The #1 thing a rookie or inexperienced team should do is build a strong 6 cim drive train and give their drivers a lot of practice. Even if any of their other plans or designs don't pan out, they can always be a valuable partner by playing defense.

If what Thromgord is suggesting is beyond the capabilities of any particular team, they need to get with the program and learn what it takes to do those things. They can start by doing some brainstorming and by doing some research, looking at old game videos and searching for threads about those mechanisms here on CD. They can also ask some nearby established teams for some help.
Yes, many rookie teams will build "Defense Bots". How will your team differentiate itself from the other teams with Defense Bots come Alliance Selection time? How will your team progress from only building Defense Bots, as some teams have done for many years?
I love first because of the late nights, the unparralleled stress, the excitement, the emotion. Because of the close defeats, the close victories. Because of the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of embettering the world. But most of all, because of you, the other teams. - Keith Chester [more]
