Agreed. The key to an underdog team doing well this year is recognizing the high value in finishing an A class robot in 4 weeks and practicing for two weeks rather than finishing a C class robot in 6 weeks and getting no practice. The extra abilities of the C class robot are easily negated by middling defense, and have cost them two weeks of practice time.
