Although it is true that the 10 points from the
stretcher are a tradeoff for a second big ball or
another robot in the endzone, what if you could do ALL
of that in a round. I mean, it would be pretty
difficult to get a good combination of bots in the
qualifying rounds, but in the elimination rounds, I see
the stretcher to be used quite frequently.

Just another thought...what if you had one of those
'bots that could pull the stretcher AND score a big
ball. Then you have another 'bot that can limbo and
score a big ball. Then you have a balancer, and
another 'bot for the stretcher. Then it is possible to
score that 700+ (or even 800+ points).

However, the point to this all is...I think the
stretcher will be used as a tactical strategy to
achieve VERY high scores at some point in the
regionals/nationals.

Just my personal thoughts..
