I have stayed out of this discussion for a reason. We keep secrets and keep them well, but I have to speak out about the "screw the match, lets kill MOE/Sparky". We had the guts, time, money, and insanity to build a three goal robot. We added lots of little feature to it and use them whenever we can. Other goal grabbers and ball collectors shoudn't "break" any 3 goal bot, but pushing is allowed. Many times we have been pushed out of the way and we have fotage of it. This game is a pushers game, not a goal grabber. Team 400, who had little people on their team and only one or two mentors (hi leo!) made it to the finals because they had a bot that shoved, no balls, no goals. They spent all their weight on power.
