Thoughts on this year's game...

It is very uneven between goal bots and ball bots since ball bots are most important in the seeding rounds, they don't play a role at all in the elimination/final rounds. All the teams have to do is to control the goals in the finals and win... my opinion is that FIRST should have thought of this problem.

I don't think of it as a problem but more as part of the game challenge!

I think ballhandler's make the whole game totally interesting and goal-handler are often boring...
Well, our team built a goal-handler and we got some extra features as pads that come down and lift thewheels off the ground so that we can't be moved, and we got an extension device to send home...

Ballhandlers are awesome, but most of them will have a hard time to go against the strenght of some of the goal-handling robots. Ballhandlers are often times tippy and don't have te strongest drivetrain but I think that it is even a bigger challenge to build a sucessfull ballhander than it is to build a good goa-handler...
My congrats and respect to everybody who tried themselves with building a ball-handler...
