I honestly feel that control is just as important a factor as speed. I think that there should be a nice compromise between the two.

This is especially important because any team that is planning to grab the goals by that "little" aluminum front bar (and there are a LOT of you out there)have a very SMALL margin of error. A blitzing robot that flies into the goal will have an AMAZINGLY tough time trying to grab that bar.

Also, for teams that are trying to cross the midfield divider, either over or under the bar, (and there are a lot of you out there too) it will probably be VERY difficult to control a robot and align perfectly when you are running at a blazing speed.

Just my personal thoughts...
