And this is the beauty of this year's game - I always enjoy it when teams can squeeze more strategic functionality out of one robot system.
An arm can be used for offense and defense.
A stout drive can be used for stability in guiding the balls around the field, as well as dictating where you want to be on the track when it's advantageous for you to be "over there" instead of where you're at now. Say, for when there are those moments you'd rather run on the inside track to push the quick guys to the outside of the track and negate the benefits of their speed with the longer distance they'd then have to travel to make those laps.....
