Agreed. Anyone can make a fast, low CG, heavy robot. That doesn't take any skill.

Be proud of your robot, and if your unhappy with it's performance, ITERATE THE DESIGN!

Withhold what your not happy with and make it better. Kick butt that way, not with a "wrecking ball", no one wants to see that.

Eh, I guess it doesn't apply to FRC then.

No need to guess. It's in the rules.
