Similar Bot Designs

I was looking at some videos of multiple different robots and realized a little trend. All of the robots I was watching robots winning regionals pretty much fell under three categories:

Tunnel-Box bots (Perfected by 67, but most common design)

Scorpio-Bots (Look at 27, 33, 1114, 217, 148, etc. and you will see it)

Deflectors (Perfected by 469, but many others do)

I really enjoy watching this years game, and being one of two scouting captains, I appreciate it tremendously. Scouting was fun this year. I just hope that next year, the game allows for more diverse robot designs. I know there are a few very notable exceptions to this list (1918, 910, etc.) but a majority of the bots this year fall under those three categories. Comments?
