Well, in a perfect world...

I've been advocating that the best robot design for the effort is one that 1) traverses defenses 2) herds balls into the low goal 3) hangs. Even for low resource teams, this is very doable, if they don't waste resources on a high goal shooter.

Do I really expect to be a part of alliance with 3 hangers? Realistically, probably not in districts. Maybe at district championships. Much higher chance at World Championships.

But, if we can help teams get there, so much the better.
