Nearly every year we come to the point where hundreds of teams would have done much better designing for the support tasks.
I agree completely. I personally would love to see one of the Ri3D teams solely focus on the MCC or other support tasks, and have clear documentation on the process by which they determined why this would be advantageous for any team. The majority of teams will always be better off building robots like these instead of complex ones that are designed for the game's "primary" (for lack of a better word) objectives.
