What we're NOT going to see: An enormous, beautifully engineered arm that can grab from any angle, pick the ball up, and get it over the pass. However wonderful these bots may be, they're just too shaky and too precise. We're not going to see an elevator, either. Any design that involves stopping, and lifting over will be weeded out before the finals on Einstein. We're going to see some of these huge arm-bots do very well, but in the end, it's going to be those low, fast throwers who will take champs.
Any thoughts on the winning bot design?

This thought of yours intrigues me, I guarantee you that one of these robots will be on the winning alliance. The winning alliance will have a speed demon that can get around the track with a ball. It will have a launcher bot. And it will have an arm bot. All play an important role this year. And about the beautiful robot that can do everything. There is ALWAYS a robot that can do everything and they either win the championship (My fav that could do everything was 217 in '06) Or do Very well and lose due to some circumstances.
