we have used a off center pivot on our code before, (it would rotate around the two front corners dependent on which button is pushed) witch was insanely useful to pivot the robot around other robots, you could also use an off center pivot to "lock" the distance on to whatever goal the game has. off center pivot's has some uses, but not needed, just helpfull.
