The robot I wanted to see this year would've been similar to team 1501 from 2007 (which was basically a platform on wheels).

The robot would be optimized for climbing the pyramid, but what would make this robot special is that it could carry two robots with it, and do it very quickly (under 10 seconds). That way, it could pair with a couple robots similar to Robot In 3 Days, and give the entire alliance a 90 point bonus instead of 50.

As an afterthought, the robot could also have an auton (say it dumps 3 discs into the 1pt goal) or be a dumper, and if it wasn't too difficult could be designed to make more than 1 trip.

This type of robot would fit into most alliances better than a "perfect" robot, since it improves their scoring capabilities rather than completes every aspect of the game all alone.
