David, a robot with the abilities you described has a certain niche imperative to winning this game: A feeder. If you could hold one to three balls, and then kick them back to your alliance's side, you effectively starve the opponents of balls to score with and feed your alliance. I know I'd want a feeder bot on my alliance, especially one that does the bridge well.

I'm just curious; Are you wide or long (robot)?
