Keeping it simple is a skill too few engineers have.
I want to go the "double redundancy" to the max this year, we will see how it would turn out. Being able to rebound from most problems during the match; so make it robust but yet sophisticated at the same time. While simplicity is a good approach, our robot was really too simple last year. I rather over prepare than under prepare.
