Thank you!!! This is what I have been trying to say! No single design will win everything this year (unlike the hybrids last year) and it will end up coming down to how well you can drive, and how well you work in an alliance. Stratagy will win for sure this year!

You can have the fastest, lowest, best launcher in the game and still get out played with strategy. Smart alliance captains are most important in my opinion. They work with the resources they have to generate results.
EXACTLY!

The championship is not going to be determined by any particular design (yes, it will be a good design, and a sturdy design, but that is hardly news) but rather by the team that chooses their partners most wisely and co-operates most effectively. And that is why I love FIRST... it really isn't about the robots, is it?
Now everyone is one the same page! Glad some people can put things into words wayy better than I can
