Increasing build quality

[6096D]

Hello, this is my 2nd year in VRC. Last year our build quality was overall not very good, it was very heavy and broke a lot. This year we want better build quality. What are some things that make build quality good?

What makes something good build quality?

So this year, I’m taking a more major role in building the robot. In the past, I’ve built small parts of the robot and even an entire robot in tower takeover but I always had a “good” builder next to me telling me what I missed and what to do next or it was just absolute garbage (what I built in tower takeover). Anyways, I was hoping some experienced builders could share some basic tips to ensure what I build is not horrible and maybe even considered good build quality.
