I think this is a very good thread full of very good insight and I sincerely thank the OP for making this.
My biggest problem with the Mini-bot is that it was created in an attempt to spur the growth of Tetrix. Essentially FIRST created an unnecessary burden on teams, both financially and in the thinning of resources within teams, because they wanted us to build "FTC robots." Anyone who has made or seen a sub 1.5 second Mini-bot, heck even a sub 2.5 second Mini-bot knows that they're EXTREMELY far from being FTC robots, or even Tetrix Robots.
IMO, I think FIRST shot themselves in the foot on this one anyway. I've yet to hear anything positive about the Tetrix Kit from the FRC teams that I'm close with.

Jared, I fear that the end of Logomotion will not be the mini-bot.
