Can you talk to my team? They decided we are going to try to make our robot capable of of performing every task (including defense ) . So far this season we have only met three times a week, and we start assembling our chassis tomorrow! (Late week 3 is the perfect time to finally start building our world class robot, right?? )

Kudos to 1339 for what IMO is a great strategy.
