Re: Most in-demand robot type?

I believe the most in demand robot type is a robot that can do the following:
-grab two cans off the bridge in under a second
-lift cans to the top of the human player station and get noodles
-pickup cans from either orientation
-place cans in either orientation

A robot like this is the perfect fit with a top alliance like 1114 and 2056 or 254 and 118. The strategy that would work with these robots is 118 and this robot, team XXXX, will grab the 4 cans off the bridge while 254 would do the 3 tote stack in autonomous. In teleop 118 and 254 would take there first can and begin making their stacks while team XXXX takes the other cans, puts noodles in them, and then places the noodle filled cans in the location that both 118 and 254 would like them to place them and in the right orientation of course.
