So, I agree, many bots look the same this year, but I think the game limited most of it. Many teams that wanted to go over the bumps/traverse the tunnels couldn't be 5 ft. tall, so many of them stayed low. Mostly everyone has a kicker/ball magnet, and there are a handful of people that can hang.
You definitely have the most reliable hanger I've seen. Even if you 1/2 miss, you still elevate with only one hook.

Yes, I also agree that the game limited the diversity of robots this year. I think in making it simple and fun to watch, they took that aspect away.
