Not building to do everything??

Has any team out there started to back off on what kind of machine they build every year. I know my team has tried to build a machine that can do most or all of the tasks given every year.

pushing machine
3 point scorer
1 point scorer
go up the ramp
hold alot of balls

The engineering effort to do everything is taking its toal.
My team is going to back off on this next year unless they can find different engineers or start making prints themselves.
Myself and the other engineer on our team agree we're killing ourselves trying to make a crazy good machine. We both agree would could of just made a simple 1 point machine accomplishing the same goals and getting more sleep.
That and only build one machine.
The goal is still accomplished show kids what science and technology is like.

Has anyone else back off on solving the entire game??
