You weren't the only one

THAnk you!!! i said the same thing in our initial design meetings, but all the engineers could say was that it would be easier to build a goal robot than a ball robot.

Actually Amy, at least ONE engineer argued strongly for a ball robot and even built a couple of prototype collectors.Gee I wonder who that was?

Though I agree that a goal grabber is simpler. As I recall the decision came down to a single vote, so there were strong arguments either way.
