Re: "Playing Cheap"

i undertsnad what you are saying, and i also do not like when a team does only one thing. BUT.... that was their strategy. They probably sat down and ocnsidered all the posibilities for this game, and chose the one they thought would give them the maximum to win. I can think of one team who does this excelently. Team 237 onyl does 1 thing this year. They get on the bar and defend it. They lost onyl 1 match at the NJ regional, due to another team blocking them to get to the bar. If you have not realized, in FIRST or in any other type of engineering, more fancy and complex does not always mean better. I have noitced every year that most succesfull teams are the ones that go out and do one thing during the game, but do it consistently. This thing they do may consist of one arm or add on, but that is the only extra thing on their bot that gets time put into and developed.
