Even if you got it programmed 100% perfect, I don't think it is the answer for this year's game. A team in 2007 had a 3 wheeled holonomic drive that they seemed to be able to control very well. On the downside, it was unable to climb ramps and was very easy to shut down with defense (just sit in front of the rack and push them accross the field once they got close). If you don't face defense or don't plan to climb the bumps, then it may be a good choice.
