Re: The spread of pinching rollers this year
I would agree that there were a lot of teams copying the pinch design, but I can't say I'm surprised.

The idea is quite simple, and easy to implement, but it was in the execution of this idea that really made the best systems stand out.

While there may have been 100+ teams that copied the design successfully, there was still a very wide gap in effectiveness between most teams with a pinch roller system and teams like 254, 971, 1114, or 148/217.
