I agree. One of the reasons that a lowered center drive(I'm assuming not 4 wheel or treads, as I would not try these maneuvers with those drivetrains) is so competitive, is because it needs very little programming. Sure, some teams have more complex code(I'm thinking 254 with their physics engine for turn radius) that is really nice, it is not worth the effort for the negligible gain, unless you have extra time(like maybe getting a camera working and shooting accurately).
