This is another interesting thing about Ultimate Ascent.

In most games, something like a FCS would be unstoppable force. Imagine a robot in Rebound Rumble that could sink three-pointers from that feeding slot, it would be king of the field.

But that super fancy FCS this year? All you need is a couple pool noodles to stop it. All of a sudden, even rookie teams with barely functioning robots who can slap on some noodles or angle aluminum and polycarb can stand up to the best bots out there.
