Immobile 200+ pts solo robot concept

The biggest issue I see now (assuming you follow along with the suggestions/updates throughout the thread) is that you would still be susceptible to defense. What stops another team from coming and bumping you while you're shooting?

You could make feet that extend from beneath your robot and make you somewhat immobile.

Seems plausible to reduce cycle times, yet an offensive robot coming back to the secret passage to get a ball would put this strategy in a world of hurt. The other alliance bot would push your bot back onto the courtyard carpet, and if you resist or push back you may wind up with a pretty bad foul regardless of whether the other bot initiated the first contact. The offensive bot is simply coming to get boulders, so it's tough to say they intended to force you into a penalty.
