I edited my post above to make it clear what I'm referring to. If precision is required when moving game pieces to the scoring platform (or anywhere in RR), then in my opnion you have failed somewhere in your design process. Game piece control and acquisition should have been a high weight on weighted objective tables this year (as it is most years).

We failed at that this year, but fixed it by our second event. There is no point in our cycle where high levels of precision are required, we just need to be in the general area. Nearly all robots that score 2 or more stacks a match have the same trait.
