yes i agree...

not interesting and not in the spirit of FIRST. i would just like to say to all teams who use this strategy, be warned that many teams will likely knock you over. so build robust because that arm that can raise a bin 17 shu's might get shattered if it falls onto a player station/field railing.

i don't see why so many people think that's a good strategy...if a team has a pusher bot with some sort of arm for pushing boxes off stacks, they can easily knock you over. you probaby won't be able to move easily, mostly because your center of gravity will be 8' in the air (assuming you build one really really tall).

so while it seems clever, you need to assess every possible situation...
