Re: how far have you gotten on your robot?

why does it matter, realistically even a really good harvester is not gonna hold on to more than oh say 40-50 balls at any given time of the match. Something that can hold that many loosely is more than good enough. Considering any ball you score is up to the opponent alliance to put back into field, chances are you'll never get close to having all 80 balls of the field. Plus if you did have all the balls, it's fairly obvious to the other team they can put all their defense on just your robot to stop you from scoring, instead of trying to block several.
