Ignoring the fact that it is only necessary to stack high if you can stack fast, I would say fast.

Two years in FIRST have proven to me that success can always be found in a high-volume, high speed robot, whereas a bot that goes for broke once in a while goes broke more often than not. That is why I am worried for this year--it is much more difficult to do a "high volume" robot this year, and we're really facing a new paradigm as a team.

Our bot, Taurus, is quite different from our successful ball gatherer from last year, Scorpius. Hopefully, it will still be successful.
