I would suggest that anyone who thinks this might be an easy or simple design challenge pay close attention to the number of teams that actually manage to pull it off and do it well.

Lifting 2 robots in '07 was a far more simple task, and yet you still had a very small percentage of robots that were capable of doing it reliably.
we could do it
haha and we were reliable
only team at new jersey regional that successfully scored all 60 points.
