This is an interesting topic to bring up because every year I look at the robots and think the best way to play the game. It seems that when you watch an entire season's worth of games you can figure out the best way to play. This year it seems that the best way to knock off is to use a sheet of lexan. The best way to pick up appears to be something along the lines of a roller above to forks(it can also depend on the drivers). I would also give a slight advantage to team that shoot just because they take slightly less time and and can't get caught on the overpass.(most shooters can't place at the end though). I think swerve is the best drive train, but a lot of teams would have trouble making it function to its full capacity so a six wheel skid steer with a shifting transmission works well too.
