Re: Raising the bar...or lowering it?

I think first has allowed the game to become more competitive while still allowing the better teams an advantage.

A bulldozer and a human player would be enough to make a team; feed the balls to the human player, let them shoot and score. Now, if this is all a team did, it could create a decent score. But a more advanced robot, one that could feed balls quicker, hang on the bar, control the multiplyers, would make the difference between two teams.

Now in a matchup of 3 bulldozers and a bulldozer with an arm. Who would win? Most likely the team with the armed robot.

One other point. What about the teams that cannot compete in the engineering intensive competitions? My build team is essentially 10 students, a maintenence man, and a couple engineers that stop by every so often. Last year's competiton turned into tourqe wars, and our team had many problems because we didn't have a gearbox, and didn't have the knowledge and the metal shop to create one. This year, we can do without and create a competative robot useing our workshop.
