Of course it is a magic number! It is precisely the number need to win the Grand Championship ;-)
Seriously though, everything on a FIRST robot is a compromise of some kind -- even if you decide to do EVERYTHING, you will have to compromise somewhere to make it happen, even if you just give up a reinforcement on another part of your robot.
4 was more than Zero which we thought was too low (Others, Wildstang perhaps chief among them, appear to have other opinions) and 20+ which we thought was too high (again, others have made other choices).
4 ended up to be "enough" given the wide range of things we felt were important.
