Lightbulb Re: The burning question: How many ringers can your team REALISTICALLY score?

In 2006, the disparity between very successful robot designs versus the opposite was very evident in center goal scoring. Some teams could do like 30 and while others couldn't do any.
This year, the amount of ringers that a team can score is more evenly matched between teams based on the pure design and rules of the game. The no hording of ringers this year had a huge factor in designs of robots this year. Imagine if we could grab as much as we want........wouldn't there be much different designs from teams??
That's what makes the abilitly to go from scoring say from 5 to 7 ringers in a match so much harder to do...
