I think the teams with simple ringer designs will compete better, while the complex ramp/crane/lifter bots for the bonus end game points will fall behind. A strategist may be a good idea for teams, even if it sounds corny.
When we heard this, we thought it was another person you oculd have on the field. Like a coach, human player, drivers and a strategist. Unfortnately not.
