This year will be the same as last year

Last year good ball bots could grab a goal and drive around picking up balls and the powerful bots couldn't get the balls or goals away from them. And thier strategies were very effective. Case in point, Teams 45, 233, 111.

Last year bad teams could pick up some balls kinda grab goals and sometimes have them stolen away by sneaky goal bandits (wildstang 2001 video reference).

This year will be no different, good robots will stack, bad ones will not, good robots will hold onto thier stacks, bad ones will not.

The only difference is that the percent of good stackers will be lower.

Also, yes King of the Hill bots will get push and trashed and beat up. My team built a KOH bot and I know that it can be beaten.

I commend everyone who has come up with an original design and not just decided to push boxes. Hooray for stacking!
