seriously, why bother to build an arm to place the 2X ball if you know you will be toppled over and over if you make it to the elim rounds? Why build a ball collector if someone can fly across the field at full speed and smash your rollers? why build a ball capture machine if someone can stuff their sky hook or claw into it and pull you over
Ask 469 and 71... They seemed to do pretty good...

Honestly, this is a big debate right now, right after the Championship, among a few people (compared to the total number of FIRST people out there).

I firmly believe that by the time FIRST 2005 comes around, great ideas of innovative mechanisms will take over and we won't have a bunch of tanks driving around...
