The ultimate game breaker bot.

[Donut]

An interesting idea that as mentioned more than one team is willing to attempt if the GDC deems enough components of it legal.

However if you are going for this strategy you had better build a ROBUST design (the capitalization emphasis is needed). There is no protection granted to a robot attempting to elevate itself on the tower/platform prior to the finale period, and I can say for myself at least that if I were a driver against this robot at least one member of my alliance would be pinning, blocking, and doing everything possible to prevent this robot from doing its job, especially if its good at it. I would expect enough defense to be played that this design might not be feasible because the resources needed to hang and redirect balls might make the drivetrain too weak to ever get the robot to the tower under constant harassment.
