There is a risk that if you want to be competitive at World's next year that you'll never qualify. So it's not as simple as finding the right robot role and building that robot, you really have to identify what your goals should be.
Yes, we took that risk last year. We had a bot that could only stack 5. 1671, 701 and 971 easily could have pushed us out of qualifying at each regional if our can grabber strategy had not been successful.

Exceptions to what? I know that 254, 971 and us all had very different robots at Champs than what we started with. Tuning through the competition season is critical.
