Re: what kind of robot will win?

My bet would be on a team made of someone like 90 and 175.

90 is able to dominate the bar. Hanging is extremely important. If you don't have at least 1 robot hanging, you don't have a prayer at winning. 90 is able to grab the bar, and keep others from not hanging. With 1 robot hanging and blocking 2 opponents from hanging, the value of that is 150 points.

175- You have to be able to handle the small balls. They have an elegent system to reliably grab small balls and deliver them to the player station. They also have the ablily to grab a large ball and cap a goal.

A small ball hearder and a dominating bar hanger will bring home the trophey.
