Morgan Jones is an unknown quantity at this point
If my team is any indication, goal movers will be the most numerous. I'm probably the only one on my team who thinks that ball manipulation is as, if not more important. The way I see it is that any robot that can supply the force can *push* a goal. Although a specialized gripper would aid in moving goals, I think a robot would have no problem pushing a goal from one zone into another (with few exceptions, the farthest a goal will ever have to be moved at any given time). With that in mind, to me it would make sense to use the valuable space and weight of the robot to move balls into (and/or out of) a goal. These, of course, are just my opinions and are no more valid than anyone else's opinions, but I hope that all you goal mover advocates will give at least a second thought about ball manipulation. (Anyway, I'd love to see someone make a working launcher like the one at the kickoff, seeing as my team probably won't.)
