Well, I'll go ahead and post it in this thread. I'm glad to see that this year everyone's not so "Don't Tell!" and more "Let's share ideas"

We're focusing mainly on 2 things: Balls. And Balls.

We're pulling alot of our designs from last year's bot, but heavily modified, with some new additions. We're shooting for:
-Herding small balls
-Working with the 2X balls on the movable goals
-Grabbing goals (<That one's a peice of cake, it kinda goes with our 2X ball)

Anyway, we're avoiding the platform/bar entirely. We thought hard about the bar, and basically figured it wasn't worth it.
We figured the 50 points means nothing in your QP if you win. It means 50 points to the winning team if you lose. That on top of having our bot be redesigned for the platform, among other things just made it a big no-no. A simple bot with a small variety of choices works well. We have also balanced our offence and defence, the same way we've balanced our speed and torque.
