I think the most abundant type of robot that will be made this season is a toss up between the vacuum bot and the goal controller. Some teams will think that the best way to go is a goal controller, simply because they could take a filled goal (by either their alliance partner, or their enemy) and move it into their scoring zone. Other teams will think that having a bot that can effectively manipulate balls will be the best way to go. They can fill the goal with the balls quickly and have their alliance partner worry about getting the goal into the scoring zone. My personal choice is a goal controller (major func.) with some ball handling capability (minor func.).

Goal controller - 40%
Vacuum bot - 40%
Other - 20%
