Would you rather see those same robots accomplish nothing on the field?

Making picklist at events is rough, it pretty quickly hits a point where robots are really barely able to do anything.

This is an unfortunate fact; these teams aren't all made of dumb, lazy, unmotivated people, but the robots just don't perform. It makes you wonder whether or not their build strategy is flawed.
