1. Knocks 10 pt ball, then autonomous hang, can manipulate 2x ball (switch b'tween big goals, guard bar)

2. Picks up small balls, drags small goals, manipulates 2x.

An alliance between the two would be AWESOME, and would so win.

Another 3rd winning type was one which most of us unfortunately overlooked completely. It is the bot that stays below the ball drop and "nets" all the small balls.
All you do is cap the net and they are done for the match so I dont think that type of bot will go far. unless...they can also pick up the balls
