No disrespect meant to the engineers and mentors taking part in robot in 3 days. Just my 2 cents.
While I support your sentiments ... It is my belief that Ri3D is a decent starting point. Anyone who brings a Ri3D robot to a competition will have a hard time winning.

Ri3D gives a very good assessment of what you may find at a competition ... and winning 'bots will have been benchmarked to be better than them.
