My brain understands what you're saying, but now my heart wants a pancake making robot.

If I was a rookie or a low resource team, I would seriously consider looking at drawing parallels between the last two endgames and this year's endgame. While no game has involved throwing frisbees before, there are interesting, simple relations anyone with background in FRC history could draw together. If you also keep in mind the common tendency to always overestimate score and your team's ability, year after year, even with the ever-present benefit of hindsight, you may find yourself on the path to an alternative approach to the game.

I'm not saying some teams should completely disregard any kind of floor intake or launching mechanisms in order to build the most reliable 30point climber with an option for some simple frisbee dump-only system, but to say it's something not even worth considering would be shortchanging the brainstorming process, something that can be made evident later on.
