Re: Ball or Bar

The way i see it is you need to priortize. To be competitive, a robot must be fairly fast and manuverable, able to push balls, do the autonomous, and have ONE specialty which they do extremely well. Trying to grab the multiplier, grab the bar, put the multiplier back on, gather in a special way AND grab goals will net you with a complex robot that can do everything average. Which would you choose, a guy who can do everything, but not very well, or the guy that can push the balls around for the first 1:30 then ALWAYS end up hanging on the bar for the extra 50?
