Robots without floor pickup will win events as captains or first round picks this year. I absolutely guarantee it.

Probably. There are 50-something events. I'll bet you a team t-shirt that there are more alliance captains with floor pickup than without.

My guess is that at one of our regionals, we will probably see about half the alliance captains with floor pickup, and the other will have one or two.

Auton is key, like most years, and because of that, a frisbee pick-up mechanism should be strongly considered.

Oh man, you read my mind. Floor pickup is going to be essential for those teams that go beyond just 3 disc autonomous. It's going to be like a 6+ ball auton that we say last year.
