Re: The ultimate game breaker bot.

I believe a robot like this, if ruled to be legal, would do extremely well in Week 1 or 2 regionals; probably even win a couple design awards as well.
That being said, come weeks 3-5, teams will have developed counter-strategies and this design will become as much a hindrance to its alliance as a help. Certainly come Championship time, this strategy will be nearly obsolete.
The challenge in utilizing this design lies in staying one step ahead of the competition. What strategies will combat this design; what can you do to counter those strategies?
As I said before, adaptability is king in this game. It will be highly strategic, possibly the most FIRST has developed. The teams that do the best work between the ears will be the champions.
