It could be hundreds of little things.  Just a few:

- Not setting the robot up correctly on launch
- Different “press” / “launch” technique kid to kid
- Loosening / moving parts during normal handling
- axles get bent
- tire tread gets moved a bit
- wheels get dirty / lose traction

I have been coaching a number of years now and seem to see the kids always
have a hard time with their programs being consistent after the robot has
been running for awhile.  I realize battery power could be an issue.  Are
their any other things I could check?
