One of our many strategies in 2003 was to approach our partners, well in advance, to help them with their Auton code and any mechanical issues.

Maybe we just got lucky, but we found many teams that appreciated the programming help. They ended up with permanent code they could use and we had a better partner.

We feel that was a major factor in our success at the 2003 Championship. Also our team went home knowing that we had helped many teams over the course of the year. Overall a great feeling.
