Re: Aerial Assist and Ill Will

2 things.

1) Do people not realize that a box on wheels can still score an assist? That's huge, and pretty hard to do while defending. I haven't tested it, but I would guess it could probably push a ball into a low goal, too.

2) For some teams, building a kitbot and then spending 4 weeks doing drive testing may very well be their best shot at building a competitive robot. Would that be the most inspirational build strategy for those teams? I highly doubt it! Are we really going to insist that those teams do it anyway, just so the "elite" here don't have to suffer the indignity of dealing with their less-than-perfect mechanisms?
