I personally wanted to create a robot who's sole purpose was to launch a non-lethal virus into the RC of the opponent robots, hitting them with the dreaded blue screen of death. But then I thought to myself, "How would I ever be able to stack any bins?"

So I scrapped that idea.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF S.P.A.M.!

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

WE WILL WE WILL S.P.A.M. YOU!

Brute force as true to S.P.A.M. as we can get....just shove the bot into overdrive....

Speed, Power, And Maneuverability is what we always do right!

I was rooting for the "HuckBot" at first (i.e. the day the rules were posted). However, examination of the boxes made this less viable than I would like. It's going to be kind of difficult to get a platform under a stack of boxes without knocking it over. Also, the initial position of the robots makes it more difficult.

Aren't the results of this poll going to be invalid since multiple members of one team could vote and therefore skewing the data? For example if 40 members of my team all logged in on there own and voted for what our robot does. That's 39 more votes than is required.

HAZZAH! Our robot can do everything.... except throw boxes, we thought this was too dangreous, however with quick motor and sprocket change, we would probably be able to throw stacks of four boxes at a time! did I mention we can switch gears, and tow a mini-van

we designed our robot to stack, clear zones, to limbo, and to be robust and stay on the ramp. At the Buckeye regional we had to change our strategy alot. We came thinking that the only way that you could win would be by making a stack. We discovered that we could win without making 1 stack. We won 7 out of 7 matches scoring under 100 points only one time , which by the way a score of 93 plus or minus a couple of points. We basically won by attacking the stacks on the ramp and playing king of the hill.

Nobody Stacks

The bins get knocked over so easily you might as well just guard the stacks you already have.
