No, I would not. We have planned our own strategy and a perfectly fine robot, thanks.

At champs last year I went to every* team in Hopper and asked them 2 or 3 questions. "how much do you weigh", if the answer to the weight was really close to 120 i asked if they could remove any weight. and "if i give you something to put on your robot would you put it on?" Which is basically asking if teams are willing to be cheesecaked but i wanted the teams to really think about what I was asking.
I did this all while not wearing a 2826 shirt to get honest answers. Every team that the question was asked seriously to (see below) that said no to being cheesecaked was automatically removed from consideration if they didn't have elite level can burglars.
I'm not saying that cheesecaking will happen to the degree it had last year. I'm just pointing out that teams should honestly consider having it done to their robot after an honest and humble review of their robots capabilites (which by Championships should be blatantly obvious)
And no I'm not saying that you were incorrect in saying no flat out, I'm just adding more to the conversation of teams who say no but really should say yes.
*Yes I asked 987 and 33 and 948 and etc even though I new the answer would be no.
