Re: What are the most desirable attributes top seed teams are looking for in a robot?
A good general case way to figure this out:
1. Strategically analyze which parts of the game maximize score.
2. Strategically analyze which parts of the game maximize odds of seeding high.
3. Compare the list, and figure out which components in 1 are less emphasized in 2.
There you have it, you now have things to focus on if your ultimate goal isn't to be the captain.
But also, don't be a jack of all trades. Captains rarely look for a robot that can do any task at an average level. They often want to maximize effectiveness in the particular area that you are best at. Have a thing you are good at.
