Video is cool but how much it does it really change the game for the alliance with that capability..who knows guess we'll find out soon enough. Still way cool.
Think of elims. A robot that can grab four cans is invaluable for points denial, even if they all can't be used.
Quals is important, but being a pretty-much-guaranteed elims pick is better IMO. Assuming the robot can do more than just cans.
