Re: Best Inbounder Qualities?

I would focus on you drivetrain and driver practice to be honest. From what I've seen in California regionals the third robot/ inbounder is most effective when they receive the ball and then immediately pass it to the trussing bot, without any driving involved. Then they go back to playing defense until the next cycle starts. You can't really beat the effectiveness of that kind of immediate hand-off for quickly getting the first assist on the ball.

So with that in mind, making sure your robot can receive a ball from the back and immediately pass it out the front is pretty desirable. Not sure what kind of drivetrain you have, but I would highly consider upgrading to original versa-wheels. Their grip is unmatched, even if they do wear down fairly quickly. If you have a practice robot drive it until the wheels fall off, then drive some more. If not, consider building just a drive base and weighting to accurate robot weight. Provided that's in your resources of course. Make sure your driver is aware of all penalties and able to play effective defense without incurring them. On that same note be careful of anything that sticks out of your frame perimeter. Given today's update rough defense just got a lot harder to play. Make sure your human player won't ever get a g40. Practice practice practice.

But that's all just my two cents. Good luck and have fun at worlds.
