Re: How would you have built your team's robot differently if the robot could expand?

I think we would see a lot of designs like that of Team 148, but with a wider dumper in the front. 148 had a perfect design for doing what they wanted to do. Their system was flawless, and their bot could hold enough moon rocks to fill an entire trailer. If they had managed to have a bit wider bot, they could have made an elevator capable of dumping multiple balls at a time, which would have allowed for faster dumping, which I think was the only down-side to their design, and many similar designs as well. The more balls you carry, the longer it takes to get rid of them, and to pick them up, if you're doing so one by one.
