Oh 1503, feel like showing Don your 2011 results? I seem to recall the same arguments being raised about your robot, and you have 2 more Blue Banners to show for it.

Don, I wouldn't be so sure. There's 51 DISCS in the ALLIANCE STATION. I think most teams won't be able to reliably hit their 17, never mind be able to pick up off the floor in a reliable manner that is efficient for feeding their shooter, within the new reduced robot envelope.

I MIGHT actually go so far as to say that many of the topmost teams won't have floor pickup. Throwing frisbees is a much different animal to throwing compliant things like foam balls. I think the robot-fired full court shot will play a significant role this year. If I can park my super-reliable full-court shooter in front of a FEEDER STATION, and just fire all 51 DISCS into a goal from there, I'm gonna win most Qualification matches.
