Trade off- Pro / Con

So with some time to kill and having the 30 pound allowance and seeing all the full court shooters.... We have decided to build a blocker for our bot that will start at 54" and can raise up to 84". This system can be removed and attached in less then 5 minutes and we were thinking that the ability to remove and use it as we wish would be valuable.

The negative of adding this system is that we will not be able to go under the tower anymore.

Its has become a pretty good debate on our team as to what is of more value. Being able to drive under or the ability to block. I like that we will have this option with us at WPI and think it makes us a more desirable possible elimination selection.

What does the community think? Thanks
