A question I would like to ask is:

What do the cohosts think are the programming projects with the biggest direct impact to the success of a team?

Following up on that, only one of the three teams had a successful autonomous (225). For 225, what programming practices helped build a successful auto? For the others, what factors are you planning to improve on in the future to build a succesful auto? For 5333, you developed an extremly complicated development environment, TOAST, OpenRIO, GradleRIO, etc. Did developing those detract from the success of your team?
