Offseasons as your Regular Season?

[Andrew Schreiber]

One thing that no one has brought up, yes you could build a killer robot but you would no practice in driving it. In my opinion 1114 wasnt a stellar robot completely because of their design. (Not to say the design wasnt awesome) They were stellar because their drivers were good. Even better example, 148. Their robot was by no means the fastest in a straight speed test. Their drivers were just wicked awesome. Point is, those teams had a LOT of practice. Try putting rookie drivers in during the eliminations of a national division and you should see what your drivers would be facing. The off season competitions like IRI are so awesome because everyone knows what they are doing.
