A. Break down.
B. Aren't any good.
C. Rookies who have a student coaching and rotate their drivers.

Even so, this year we have strategies available for every situation. We can just as easily perform excellently with a good partner to back us up, or go it alone if they can't.
Planning your bot to be by its self I feel is the best thing you can do. However for a robot to win, you don't have to do everything. Even if you seed low because of partners, you will be picked (look at beatty from 2002).

Also you can't predict everythign that is goign to happen, you will always find somethign new either with other bots, or your own.

Like i said planning on being by your self is the best way to make your bot.

Also student coaches and rookie teams do not mean that that team is bad, just means that they have a fresh perspective on FIRST.
