Hmmmm....despite the fact that they say otherwise, you believe this is what they want? I won't go into that any further, but.....

Think about last year's game, the two main scoring opportunities were with an arm that hung tubes on, or with a ramp to park other robots on. That was a great opportunity to have two mechanisms that could be changed. Unbolt the arm, bolt on the ramp, you've completely changed your game plan, but still have the same robot under it all. 1519 has to replace the whole robot to change game plans.
