Actually, I don't think that picking up the big ball is going to be an "essential" skill. I think that it is important to focus on a couple or a few skills and be able to do them very well. This gives you a good chance at being picked for an alliance in the elimination rounds, or, in fact, being the one picking alliances.

In my humble opinion, I think that MANY teams are working on balancing the bridge. I haven't heard much toward picking up small balls as of yet. A surprising amount of robots shall be able to cross to the other side of the field via means other than the bridge.

So, besides all this rambling, what do I think is the most important skill? Well, although it may not be much of a "skill" but I think that a robot absolutely NEEDS to be able to get into the endzone. It does sound simple, but it's pretty much the easiest 10 points you can get.

Just my personal thoughts...

Chris, #368
