Also consider how you might become more valuable on defense. And having the ability to get up on your platform at the end. And being a defensive bot for autonomous by getting in the other alliance's way. And being able to push just about any robot (gently, of course) such that it can't get off a shot. And...
Good luck!

thanks we are still going to be an offensive team but we have a little secret about our bot that we hope will be a good scoring mechanism.
also by turret i mean anything that will shoot or throw a ball
