If a 2WD, 2CIM drivetrain is functional and its robot does the job that my alliance needs it to do better than any other robot out there, then darned if I ain't gonna pick that team regardless of however many 6CIM 8WD robots that do that job there are out there.
You cannot change my mind on this.

Yes, and if a robot is 90% composed of cheese does the job that my alliance needs it to do better than any other robot out there, then I'll pick it. But the fact of the matter is that a robot 90% composed of cheese is unlikely to do any job well, particularly not the jobs often assigned to 3rd partners like "getting in the way of fast robots." A little pit scouting could save you time there.
