Re: Do you think the pyramid this year will be decisive?

I think the pyramids will matter at some times, but not at others...it depends on what you design your robot to do, and of course, who else is on your alliance, and what their robot can do. In my limited experience, I wouldn't recommend relying on the pyramid; the systems that could be used in designing it for that can be very finicky and (hopefully not) troublesome. If that's you and your robot fails...then I suppose you can play defense, but otherwise you're a 120 pound paperweight.

In other words, incorporating disc shooting in your design is (in my opinion) extremely important.
