Re: 2014: the year of the underdog
 

if you think about it, each zone is worth 20 points, a class B robot could focus on a great feeder, and catcher and catch often, and do good in defense and protecting the shooter from defense they are just as important and don't need a launcher at all. But without good driving theres not much you can do. Very good year for all the rookie teams including 2 year teams.

Re: 2014: the year of the underdog
 

I would take the B robot and just add a very reliable ground feeder that could pass off effectivly. We are trying to design a feeder on a long base robot because a longer base is more stable, better for defense and can take more hits without losing ballance. I think there will be alot of sheering of feeders if its not designed right.
