Go to Post Both might accomplish the same "function" or "results" (perhaps a lift of some kind), but there are clear differences in simplicity, in cost, in maintainability, extensibility, and several other "ilities" -- which are a staple of engineering evaluation criteria. - msd [more]

Re: Fastest way to score the Most points

Easy. Follow the points.
  1. Nail autonomous. Put your robots through different defenses.
  2. Quickly carry boulders through a variety of defenses. Between auto and teleop, bring 2 balls through each of the five defenses and score them high.
  3. Continue scoring boulders quickly. Preferably through the high goal, probably through the low bar for minimum cycle time.
  4. Have all three robots at least challenge, and preferably scale the tower.

Let's clarify that you do not have to bring a boulder through a defense to weaken it.

True, but while you're on that side you may as well drop a present into the tower--that's -1 strength to the tower, and +2 or +5 points to you.
