Creating the perfect robot

[MichaelBick]

If I was building the "perfect" robot I still would want it to be boiled down to simplicity for reliability. In my opinion a FCS is too easily blocked. Cyclers are harder to block and much more accurate(efficiency/reliability is king). Climb and dump is required because of the reliability of the 50 pts. Front vs back intake is a question of points vs versatility. The front intake allows you to dominate by yourself while the back intake gives you a faster back auton(more likely to pull it off) and a bit of a better position for picking up stray frisbees on the way back to the feeder station. Either way this boils down to 610's shooter, 1114's climber, and 1986's intake(forward or back facing with a respectively faced hopper).

In a more realistic case, my favorite robot this year was 1114's. With the large amount of multi-disk autos this year, 1114 proved to be an ultimate 1st pick. They were extremely reliable at scoring enormous amounts of points and are by far my favorite robot of the year.
