What will be the most effective robot type this year

[mrobrien]

If a speedy robot can get one goal and fill it up with 30-50 balls in under 40 seconds while avoiding having the goal stolen (I'd think it'd be hard to steal a fast moving goal with an evasive driver) as one of our designs should be able to do, that's 50-70 points assuming that our partner gets ten points (at least) by just sitting there. This seems easier to me than trying to chase down and catch all 3 goals, getting you 40 points vs 30 MAX assuming the same thing about your partner. Also, if the balls are in the game, it will probably be a much higher scoring match and thus give a higher multiplier to the winner.
