I know for our team being able to get anywhere on the field rather quickly has always been beneficial to us. This is a lesson we have learned by looking at the robots that you routinely see in the finals at championships. Generally speaking they are able to easily transition from different zones of the field quickly. This allows them to acquire game pieces quickly and score them regardless of where the game pieces are on the field.

Therefore, I think that we will attempt that approach again this year but I can see where robots that can't transition the barrier are useful. If they are a really good shooting robot they can stay in their scoring zone while other robots on their alliance cross over to the other side to feed them ball.
