What will the winners have over the rest of us
What do I think all regional winners will have? In the past, many regional winners have had great and innovative designs on their robot. I believe that this year it might be a little different, I believe that a robot with a great driver and a capable arm will win. This will make scouting very hard because so many teams have a very similar arm.

Not just the driver though, a coach and secondary driver must be very heads up, they must always know who is winning, and by how much. There will be a lot more going on this year, and the driver will have to maneuver around 2 more bots and more game elements. I realize that this is always true, but I just wanted to know who else thinks that there is even more emphasis on the driving and coaching than just a good robot design. Because in the end, all the engineering is still controlled by humans, and humans have flaws. But the better the driver and coaches, the smaller the flaws.
