These design's came about from in-depth analysis of the game manual, and identifying the pinnacle aspect, making lots of stacks and having the bins to cap them with.

LOL... unique... in 2014 we were unique... in 2015 we were just doing what we had to do to get to the big event again. It was a unique-looking robot I guess.

I too would like to see more creative designs get to championships though. I worry that districts are going to force us to be a little less inventive with our designs for the sake of trying to win in less unorthodox ways... just the nature of the task.
