Re: A robot that can just gather and pass efficiently

or if your a team of limited resources concentrate on being passer. A robot with an good intake and the ability to pass the ball out will be invaluable.

why bother having a 7/10 shooter and a 7/10 intake when you can have one 10/10 intake? I would argue this would be an ideal MCC (Minimum Competitive Concept) robot. Being able to grab the ball fast and quickly pass it would make a robot completely competitive, and could be more attractive as a pick for an alliance that already has a shooter.

I really hope most robots will have decent intakes at competition. I think a team with a version of any of the 3 day robot intakes, a ball holder with incline to help the ball exit and a well maintained kit bot chassis will be a highly desired pick.
