Re: Staying in Zones

I think that many of you guys that are talking about how it's important to support less effective/broken robots and the like are forgetting that the alliance gets to choose where the robots start. The fact that the alliance gets to plan ahead removes a lot of those problems, at least in my opinion

Obviously, there will be some situations in which moving to another zone is advantageous. However, does this REALLY outweigh the added complexity of designing a really short robot or a robot which can successfully navigate over the bumps? Not doing this allows you to REALLY focus on your robot's strengths, such as a very amazing kicker.
