Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?

In all honesty, the competition is specifically meant for the knowledge and experience that is derived from building a robot that works efficiently. Even if it's not the best, it's the process that is the most important part. It seems really saddening to think that the robot isn't as important as the human factor. I hate to entirely denounce the use of payload specialists, but it just doesn't agree with me well.

That being said, my team will still have one lobbing the balls into the trailers. Though, I truly hope that our robot will suffice and do even better than the humans. Also, I really really REALLY love the idea of a rule test. It's a true reminder of what the game is all about.
