Re: How many teams do you think will just do the mini-bot
Doing one thing well is better than doing several things poorly.

So having the best mini-bot will get you some games on Saturday afternoon, particularly at early-season regionals.

But you'll still lose to the teams that have a really good mini-bot and really good scoring, even if you play careful D on them.

P.S. I'd be really interested to know if you could cram one of the square game pieces down over top of one of the poles. Apparently the inner spacing of the square is about 12", and the pole has a top of 12" diameter, and I can't see anything saying that you can't take a game piece and drop it down over the opponent's pole. That would kind of obliterate their mini-bot attack before it started.
