I am personally a huge proponent of the goalie/punter bot. I believe that a good one, could very well give an alliance a distinct advantage come the elimination rounds.

I expect to see the top seeded teams looking for a robot like this to pair up with. A bot like this would account for a 20 point contribution to the cycle.

If you were a rookie team, you could abandon the drive train and just create a static punter. You could probably automate it too...

Also think about the fact that if there are no balls on the field a punter get's your cycle started right away, as opposed to you waiting for a bot to cross the field.
