Re: Backbot interaction
Mike brings up a good point regarding loading at the player station. This leads me to ask a question:

Which team will be brave enough to be the ultimate partner, the robot who gets the assist, the passer not the shooter? What I mean is, who will design their robot to be the ultimate "ball from the floor sucker" that will simply be designed to "load" the ultimate shooter robots?

To me, that robot will be extremely valuable to the top tier shooters ....

P.S. - Don't tell me your robot will be the ultimate floor sucker, the ultimate shooter, the ultimate "loader", and the ultimate ramp robot because I won't believe you (unless your 71 or 111 who are the only teams who have consistently been successful building "do everything bots").
