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.
I'm just saying, but please build this robot and compete against me with it. I'm assuming whomever builds it gets it to work perfectly in Week 1. Please build it and let me play against it. It requires a low scoring match but it can be beaten. Trust me.

And it's way easier to win 3 on 2 than it is 3 on 3.
