A low goal robot isn't necessarily "crappy" -- it differs from a high goal bot the way a guard differs from a center in basketball. True, we can't score over 100 points, but neither can our opponents when we swipe over half the balls from their side. Our bot is a true point guard -- fast, good ball handler, and when we control the softballs, we control the game. Wouldn't necessarily want 2 of us on the same alliance, but to a high goal team that doesn't move very fast, we're a better complement than another slow high-goal bot. For some shameless boasting, I might also add that the #1 pick (a high-goal bot, whom the team agreed was the 2nd best bot) lost as our opponent but won as our alliance partner.
