Understand your design capabilities, and design within it.

Understand your manufacturing and machining capabilities, and build within them.

You don't need the 8th wonder of the world to have success and inspire in this game, what you need is a robot that works (and works every time).

One last thing. As engineers and mentors we need to keep a perspective on things. While we design in advantages and compete to win, our goals are to inspire, and to show that anything is possible.
