I don't know how many times I've heard my own team say something to this effect.

I wish you luck, but never underestimate the power of other teams. They will think of everything you didn't. What decides who wins and loses is largely the strategizing at competition, and to a lesser extent the robots themselves. I recall many times people on here and at competitions remarking how often the best offense, is a good defense. There have been some teams who are consistently good at defense, even if they are lacking in other areas, and they can often shut down a really good scoring robot.

Every year I see at least one robot that makes me go: "wow, that's so elegant and simple, why didn't I think of that?"
