I'd be impressed if the same robot could block you at both your bridge and the other bridge, but it's kind of beside the point because blocking's not really a concern at the time in the match when you'd be most likely to cross over (i.e. really early).

I definitely agree with you there. Our thought process is that, while being able to cross the bump effectively is better than not being able to cross it at all, being able to cross the bump effectively with a mediocre scoring mechanism is worse than having a great scorer and not being able to cross the bump. First things first!
Despite what my posts may imply, our team has not ruled out a bump-crossing mechanism. It's just lower on our list of priorities than perfecting the scorer, which means that it won't get started on until late in the build season. We'll see how it turns out. Right now it looks like we're going to have more time than we initially thought.
Thanks for the input and we'll see you at the regional!
