Re: [MCC] Minimum Competitive Concept 2013
This is easy. The Robot in Three Days, or 3313.
This year's "minimum" is way higher than previous years due to the relatively easy game task. I would say the "minimum" robot would be a fixed, simple human loaded bucket shooter (linear, curved, does it even matter?) that could auton, cycle three times, and hang (passively is probably best for MCC). 2 point or 3 point goal isn't that important but I don't see many teams having trouble over six weeks tuning their robot to be accurate enough to use the 3 point goal.
This concept (the "pure cycler" distilled into its simplest form) is potentially competitive at all levels of play, falling off only at the Championship level, but then you can add a net and still be in the hunt.
