I'm sure a lot of teams (including mine) could just USE their robot from last year. It has everything you need: a manipulator large enough to pick up an inner tube is large enough to pick up the balls, and if their manipulator could reach the top row on the Rack, then it can reach the balls also. At most, their old robot will need some modifications.

I don't like this game because it's not very challenging. See, you can make a drivable box bot in a day, and have it score points. You can also recycle a lot of ideas from last year. I really hope that teams choose to challenge themselves and go for the complex stuff like the IR board and autonomous. At least that's what I want my team to do.
