So is the third.

Game piece manipulation is no higher than fourth on the list of robot priorities.
Does that mean that Bumpers on #1? Please tell me bumpers are not #1...

Discussing ranking systems is a really good idea. FIRST likes to switch them up and sometimes this will influence how you design your robot.

A fun hypothetical might be:
Originally matches were 1vs.1vs.1
Then FIRST improved to the 2vs.2 format.
Then FIRST improved (by most folks opinion) to the 3 vs. 3 format.
How would FIRST change if they went to 4vs.4?
What would be the benefits and what would be the disadvantages to 4 vs. 4?
