One machine?
We are seeing lots of awesome ideas this year, like have the "ball funnel" from Team 45, but can one robot do it alone again this year?
Believe it or not - The past two years' games could be "underminded" so that only one, dominant robot could win about 90% of the time. I know a lot of you will disagree with me on this one, but it is obvious - just look at Beatty from 2002 and Wildstang from 2003. Both of these teams dominated the game in their respective years, but they still needed a partner to do some basic operations.
This year, I believe an alliance will need to consist of two very strong teams if they plan on going a long way in the finals.
What do you think? Can one robot dominant this year's game... again?
