I bet in 2006 people thought the same thing. Then they saw team 25. They went undefeated through 2 regionals, only 2 loses in route to a Newton Division Championship and ended up Championship Finalists. They got game pieces from their human player on the other side of the field and drove the length of the field to score them. No ground pick-up. 3 Banners, 3 Gold Medals and 1 Silver medal. Thats a top-tier robot.
Teams can be "top-tier" if they excel at the strategy they build for. 3 weeks in, if your strategy is human load only, stick with it and make it unstoppable.
