-Consistently made both autonomous shots for 12 points
-Was much quicker than 80% or more of the rest of the robots on the field
-Could grab balls off the ground like nobody's business, and quickly release them.
-was small, and could get across the field and up the bridge.

While I agree that 16 was a great robot they were the complete opposite of minimum. From their swerve drive, catapult, and full width pickup it was an extremely effective yet complex robot. Minimum competitive robots are ones that are extremely basic/simple and any team with limited resources, tools, and budget can produce in the 6 weeks.
