In both picks, I'd require (hence the numbering):

1) Willing to cooperate with the agreed strategy. If you're getting in your partner's way, you're out. I don't care how cool your robot is.
1) Ball Handling - pick up, hold onto the ball, and able to dispose of the ball to their intended location. I do not want to waste 15 seconds of my cycle waiting for you to pick up the only ball while you are undefended, especially if you are just going to get rammed and have the ball fall out.
1) Ability to play defense - what else are they going to do while we're scoring? Drivetrains are more important than any previous year.
1) Does not get stupid penalties.
I think we completely agree. I didn't emphasize it, but my that list of attributes was only as far as shooting the ball is concerned. To be honest, as long as they could score in autonomous, shooting the ball wasn't a huge deal for us other than as listed.
