What do you think of this year's competition?

It seems to me that this year's competition will be..., how can I say it properly..., physically challenging.
Looks to me that the hanging bar can fit 2 ro 3 robot up there, ane maybe even four! I can see that the four robot will fight for the hanging bar at the end of the match, and I can imagine robot being taken off the bar, or fail to lock it self off the ground.
Also, there are a lot of robot that can go under the limbo bar, which means the robot will be rushing for balls at the beginning (?).
Then, there are two type of picking up balls: one using a system to suck up lots of balls, and the other use an arm/basket to pick up about two balls. So maybe the robot that score tons of balls will do better?
In addition, I don't see robot with bumpers yet.
As for the the way of playing the games, I don't see much defensive robot expect a few that have long arm and reach in and grab balls out.
Finally, the way to calculate qualifying points is going to mess up how a game will be.

Any comment(s)?
