Which rookie teams could still do even as a box on wheels. Even Dozer would have been able to score a few points.
At the GTRC regional there was one team with a C-shaped drivetrain. That's all it was. It would go out and find a tote and push it onto the scoring platform. Then it would go and do it again.
It didn't sound like much, and the temptation was to smirk contemptuously, but it outscored the robot we brought, which theoretically could do much more but arrived untested and unpracticed.
