Re: High Goal Vs. Low Goal
At the highest levels of play methinks the calculus is quite simple--if you can build a robot that can consistently defeat at least one class of defense and then consistently and quickly shoot high goal shots from 4'6" up and with its bumpers over the Outer Works, then that's what you build and you go on to win most of the events you participate in.

If you can't, then you scale back your expectations and build the best robot you can that *can* score consistently and quickly, somehow, from somewhere.
