Go to Post I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. - Arefin Bari [more]

These two simple strategies I will fear the most. I fear even more an alliance who can do both of these, for I believe that they will be unstoppable.
Just remember...no one is unstoppable. Logically, every team has a weakness - our robot, for example, can't handle the movable goals at all. Beyond that, no robot is immune from mechanical problems. Battery becoming unplugged, wire being ripped out of place, a puncture in the pneumatics system...these can all doom a team to failure if they aren't caught at the right time. It's best not to get me started on programming - I've found (firsthand) so many ways to screw up a robot that it'd take days to list them all.

Every robot can be beaten...it's figuring out how that's the fun part.
