First off, people don't say that because real carpenters DO use hammers when building things.
Next, why are they pushing all the sensors on us? You said that it's because they want us to make more complicated robots. Not true! All of the sensors are just options to be put on your robot. If you think you need them, then add them, if not, don't.
Now, on to the KISS principle. YES IT IS THAT SIMPLE! Make your rows big and plentiful, make the opponents small and few! Guarenteed to work every time if done properly!
As for a scoring aid, I don't think that we'll be using one this year. I am, however, making a "game" that flashes up a representation of the rack partially filled and the player has to choose the best place to score within a set time limit. I came up with the idea as a training aid. (I got the idea from those flash memory games that flash a number and some symbols and you have to write them down within a time limit)
