Re: Should we rebuild our robot to be an autonomous container grabber?
Assuming your container grabbing ability is top-notch, and you grab all four containers every time, you alliance needs to make either 7 fully capped stacks of 5 or about 5 fully capped stacks of 6 to "beat" an opponent.
So yes, the top two robots in a division are theoretically capable of this, but will your ability to outscore your direct opponents be able to keep your average score high enough to move on to the finals of playoffs where it really matters.
However, if your options are a mediocre stacker or a potential clutch pick at the championship event (even as a fourth robot the alliance just brings out for finals), I'd take the clutch pick personally.
I hope to see this robot happen.
