Obviously this is no reason to not have MI teams in IN, it was just something that I thought of.
A brief history of cheese caking:

2016: A blocker could be built out of spare materials and a shirt (cost $0)
2015: Most cheese caked thing was bin grabbers which usually if they are going on your robot you aren't making (Cost $0)
2014: Something to bounce the ball off of for an inbounder such as a stick (cost $0)
2013: A blocker can be build out of spare materials and a shirt (cost $0)

Also adding any of those things to your robot should not only be useful in one match or tournament, sure you may take them off but you most likely will need them again.

I can't think of a single time someone cheesecaked something to use against a specific robot that would only be useful against said robot.
