If you want to get down to reality, the coolest robot trick, performed most reliably by team 71, was the ability to push both goals on the bridge and then drive to the end zone. Team 308 and a few others could do it, but not as consistantly as 71.

Our team underestimated what it would take to win. We had a machine which could autobalance very reliably with both goals. We could qualify well, but our giving up the "end zone" points prevented us from getting the 700+ points needed to win competitions without partners like 71 or 308.
