You generally need to do far less than you think to be a competitive robot, and the point of this exercise is to figure out what specific tasks you have to do to meet this criteria with little effort or machining.

Yeah, I'm in the boat of GeeTwo is way beyond MCC and into wish listing what his robot did.
Fact - at most early events (by which I mean before week, say, 6?) you could seed high with a favorable schedule and a reliable drivetrain. Don't need to TOUCH a ball. Like, ever. So for me, a MCC (which I usually define as a robot that will play in eliminations) consists of nothing more than a drive base capable of clearing the passive defenses. A portculis/cdf arm pneumatically driven would have been wonderful but not minimum.
