Only at the very high levels do you see robots that can guarantee 20 to 40 points per match. This robot is utterly fantastic, and the engineering and thought that went into it looks amazing. I wish I had thought of it, but hats off to 179!
Nothing is guaranteed. The average regional match would probably feature teams that have trouble climbing the ramp.

Not to take anything away from 179, but everyone on Chief always freaks out and starts exclaiming "EINSTEIN!!!!" as soon as they see the first out of the box/good robot posted. It's never that simple.
