Re: 2015- Minimum Competitive Concept

Being that no real competitions or picking has happened yet, this conversation is usually tabled for post-season shenanigans.

As of now, I could see a number of types of extremely simple robots that could make eliminations at every regional they attend.

My MCC right now: A robot that can possess game pieces, move into the auto zone, and brush litter into the landfill zone. This robot could serve a few different functions:
a) It could start stacks
b) It could move stacks
c) It can carry containers to get k'noodled at the human player station
d) It can push litter into the landfill

A top 8 robot at an average regional can probably make 1 capped stack of 4-6 per match or 2 uncapped stacks of 4-6, as well as get coopertition most matches. Most will have auto modes that just grab a tote or container and move to the auto zone.
