With today's teams, I have no doubt that an elite team today could design a mechanism to install on a 3rd bot that could mimic our robot's ability to move on the bar; installing this singular ability would make the least competitive team a perfect fit to the most competitive team.
So? That means there were negatives that that "elite team" saw in picking your team vs the other team. Just because your team made that strategy, doesnt give you the stranglehold on anyone else using that same strategy.
