I agree that for the most part, a lot of robots this year will just be mediocre '06 robots. True the powerhouse teams will have some amazing bots, but for the most part, it will be disappointing to watch compared to games of the past (a pure spectator point of view). For my team, I think this is the year we try some amazing new techniques, because in the end, it may not give you a big advantage or disadvantage on the field but more importantly shoot for some of the other awards offered by judges.
