Cool Ideas thrown out in the design process

This topic for cool ideas somebody came up with for their robot during the brainstorming stage, but people voted it down for maybe not working or maybe too hard. For example, for the Breakaway game, one member came up with the idea of a "Low Rider" bot. The wheels would have been attached to pneumatic pistons. When driving to the tunnel, we would drop down, and be able to go under the tunnel, but if we wanted to go over the bump, we could raise the pistons. A mentor said we would have to do a lot of work to make it work, so several people voted to do the idea that a lot of other teams at the St. Louis Regional did.
