I initially thought a goal controller would have the potential to be the most powerful since the scoring medium of the balls is completely dependent upon the location of the goals. If someone (and I'm sure they will) can figure out a way to grab all 3 goals - 520 lbs of robot and goal oughta be fun to manuever with - they've essentially guaranteed a win. Then again, the whole opponents score thing messes it all up since this would basically prevent them from getting any points. After much contemplation I've actually realized that a faster, more maneuverable robot able to drag only 1 goal with a ball-gatherer of sorts ought to be much more effective. A team with 2 bots of this sort could effectively dominate the match by reaching first and controlling 2 of the 3 goals, and filling them with balls. They would then, based on what the opponents did with the third goal, be able to shift the balls around to get as close as possible to an even distribution. I think inspite of everyone's loving a good lumbering, robot-crunching bully and all of the ensuing accidental carnage, bully bots are going to be the least effective just because of the danger of dq with risks of malicious intents and "entangling."
