I'd just like to throw in the accuracy of the FRC ranking system into this discussion. While
smart teams will notice a niche robot, with the heavy reliance on partners for matches, I foresee the ranking system not being as... accurate (I say that lightly) as it has been in the past. You may have teams out there picking that didn't even scout (or scout effectively). Maybe I'm just too cautious, but something like that is just too risky, at least for us.
That being said, if you know your teams limits (a very hard thing to do), and you know an accurate-enough shooter is not in your capabilities, by all means make something that can catch and pass off a truss pass 100% of the time really quickly. Its great for this game.
I'd pick you.

I completely agree. It's just not required by the game. Oh, and its time I made a call-out to Team 869. I've always liked your guy's defense bot style (disc-blowing fan last year), and I think this is the year for you
