Am I just looking at the wrong robots? Or have teams decided that Robot in Three Days proved that it didn't matter?

Thanks
Team 706 designed a disk orientation mechanism into our robot this year. It is as of yet 100% effective, however we can't release all of the details yet. Ill be sure to post a link when we are ready.
