To quote JVN, "This is an engineering competition." 118 wins consistently because they do some of the best engineering.

Well... it was a question not a statement one with a comedic edge at that. I had no doubt there was rational behind it. Although even 118 could do something they even slightly regret.

I also asked it because they have historically taken mechanisms off their robots as the season progresses. This year it was the sally port arm/draw bridge arm last year it was the can articulator ect.
