i think a combination robot is benificial to have, but what it comes down to is durability, strangth, and quality. last year our robot was only really good at knocking down the wall, not stacking. however, our strong base and drive train led us all the way to the championship semis. all we can do good this year is go up on the bar, but our good base and drive train still help us a lot. our robot isn't the best or most versitile one out there, but its still very good because of the high quality base.

basically i am saying that the best design should not be judged by what the robot does, but by how good and reliably it does what it does.
