Re: Gears on the floor?

Here's my opinion on floor pickup for gears: At many events, there is going to be sub-par gear robots that are going to drop gears. Depending on how much this happens, you could easily loose a match to not being able to pick up dropped gears. If you are a robot focusing on gears, it's a safe assumption that you are trying to be one of the best gear robots at the event and probably want to seed high. To do this, you are going to need a floor intake to make sure you can score a consistent amount of gears and not rely on alliance partners if they malfunction or just can't handle the gears reliably.
