Many of the top teams were missing one thing like 254 (Can burglars) and 118 (no hp unless they formed a tethered ramp I didn't know about). And even one of the best teams this year was 148 and, they were missing two qualities (No L and Can Burglars). That's the biggest thing that many teams emphasize and our team has done some emphasizing doing a few things close to perfect is better than doing all things just ok.
From looking at 148's robot it could probably play landfill. Robin would be dragged around for the ride, though.
