This is an interesting year for an MCC, especially with how the game played out. In this case and MCC could actually be a very very competitive machine at the majority (if not all) levels of competition.

It's almost an 1114 (minus climber) / 862 hybrid (lite) machine.

- KOP drive - Wide configuration.
- Single Speed 4 or 6 wheel drive. 4 CIM Toughbox/Mini-Toughbox transmissions.
- Passive 10pt hanger.
- Human player loaded - Front loaded (similar to 1114).
- Roller fed, single wheel 1/4 arc shooter powered by a CIM/Mini-CIM.
- Fixed angle.
- 2pt, maybe 3pt goal capability.
- No speed control, just % based shooter control.

Almost any team could build this machine....and it would be incredibly effective as a secondary scorer or, for sure, a third machine. It seems odd that an MCC could actually be this simple, yet this effective.

And with a couple of more advanced tricks, such as a non-passive hanger to be able to get under the tower and a higher level drivetrain (shifter or 6 CIM single speed) and you have a World Championship level machine with a great driver (*610 anyone?).

*As a side note, I have not actually seen 610's machine, but I imagine it's simplicity is what made it very effective.

I kinda wish I had this perpective at the start of the year. Would have led to so much less burn-out.
