Re: [YMTC]: Robot Ability

I'm going to go with "do what works to win". Sometimes the goals that you set out for your robot to do originally just don't pan out. Example: Our original plan was to be a 2 robot, 12 inch ramps and platforms. We went 2 regionals before we could get that to happen in Atlanta. But we took our lemons and made lemonade. We used our arm for 2 regionals, seeding 9th (#8 alliance captain) and 6th respectively. Sometimes, you just have to go with what works.

In the case of this, I would suggest that, given the options, the team do what it needs to in order to contribute to the alliance as much as possible. While I don't condone forceful defense, I think that the "get in the way and prevent a score" strategy grately contributes to an alliance this year.
