Re: If you could Breakaway all over again...

I wouldn't have bothered with the kicking mechanism on our robot, or all the associated pneumatics, and would have focused on the ball herding strategy, which worked out pretty well for us. I would have used that extra time on improving the drivetrain, because getting around defense was a big problem of ours throughout the season.
