Multiple configurations = Guts and planning

This loophole is sure tempting to jump through.

But, we can't just add an arm at the end of debug... all configurations must be thought of now and implemented as the design takes shape.

It's hard enought to just get a working robot, let alone one that is re-configurable.

It sure would be a peach, though, wouldn't it? This would take the same amount of guts that the monkeys had last year.

I can imagine the pre-match planning now:

"Johnny, you get the big ball gripper, and I'll take out the robo-ramp... who know's what we'll use this round!"

Yet another log to put on the fire.
