MCC is a great road-map for many 2nd tier teams. We are definitely a 2nd tier team in Texas and found success with a MCC robot.

Assumptions:
zero machine shop time (hand tools only) , no welding
occasional laser cutting (varies on donations and friends )
partial field to practice (no pyramid)
Strategy
shoot 3 point shot from one place (use physical hardstop to align)
passive climb (no actuation , can't build a pyramid , so climbing is out)
passive feeding of frisbees
be tall enough to not be blocked
Design
6-wheel VEXpro single speed drivetrain
tall fixed angle shooter (KISS)
passive 10-point climbing mechanism
gravity fed hopper
Accomplishments
1. LSR - Regional Finalist , Engineering Excellence
2. Alamo - 2nd Ranked team, semi-finalist
3. Ranked 5th in Texas (
unofficial rankings )
