Also you don’t need to practice driving with your robot at all. If you’re a good enough driver you’ll be a god at driving it as soon as you touch the controller

That’s exactly what the guys on my team thought. No wonder we came in last place at our most recent comp.

Ean writes: Using rivets
This. I deliver VEX EDR kits to teams and as we unpack, I grab the rivets and take them and give them three bags of screws of different sizes and three bags of nuts (one is nylock) problem solved.
Worst is “add weight” to help an out of balance / topple over issue. Ugg…
(* I used to throw the rivets in the trash but I had a Teacher/Mentor “rescue” them and the team used them. /sigh So now I take them and put them in my recycling.

Make it robot that makes stacks by lifting a stack and sliding cubes underneath
Use standoffs as screw extendors

Don’t use screws to fasten anything together, instead just cut a lot of short shafts and put shaft collars on both sides to tighten them together.

use stand-offs instead f regular nuts. Also the new v5 system is way worse than cortex so use cortex
