This year I think it is very important to know what your robot is 'really' capable of.
It doesn't help telling your alliance that you can tow eleven goals on smooth surfaces downhill with 11 students and 2 engineers in the goals in the snow..........
Last year many, many teams overestimated their abilities on speed, balance, and strength (we were probably in there at one time also) This year be prepared to tell your alliance the real time it takes you to get to the goals, what true percentage your robot can hook on to, if you have a chance of winning a pull off, how many balls your robot can 'really' get in 2 minutes on a dynamic playing field (not when the goals are sitting there lonely), also how durable is your robot? Will it die a quick death if someone bumps it; did that just happen in the last match?
You teammate needs to know the truth just as you need to know about their robot also. Giving accurate stats on your robot only helps both teams
