Re: Did you make a second robot? [POLL]

tl;dr

The key to winning a competition is a capable robot and capable drivers.

Robots are capable when the design and fabrication processes used are good (arguably).

Drivers are capable when they have enough experience driving (altough some are naturally better than others). If your drivers show up at competition with less than about 20 hours of driving experience, you are at a disadvantage. If they have 100 hours, they can make up for a lot of 'bad' in a robot.

So, between bag day and competiton, what's your drve team doing? Sitting on their hands, or driving your practice robot?

I would be interested in knowing if any team that did not build a second robot has ever made it to Einstein. I'd be surprised if the number was much greater than zero.
