It is a good design, and might be quite applicable for this year's game. The only problem that I see is that in 2000, we cherry-picked balls from our opponent's goal and put them in our goal or moved balls from our goal to theirs, controlling the score. In this game, that would be quite illegal. Beyond controlling the 2x Ball and hanging on the bar at the end of the match, the robot would be pretty useless. Unless, of course, you build it with a robust drivetrain, such that it could plow balls into the human player corral with ease. But is it safe to build a robot that can do more or less everything?
