Re: What defenses is your team planning to cross? [Strawpoll]
I have a sneaking suspicion that many teams will be passing on the low bar. Having a high ground clearance for rough terran type defences while fitting under 16" is a difficult engineering challenge. You really get squeezed in the middle if you constrain your height that much.

I think a common niche robot will be a short, herder robot that is capable of knocking out that low bar. Having that capability could give many teams the oppurtunity to play in the playoffs as a 2nd pick.
