No Lifter = No Playoffs

[dmoody92]

So we "finished" our robots and have prepared for it's voyage tommorow. Today we began discussing an important decision taht we need to make before practice day. Currently we have no lifter on the robot, but we have made one. We know it can hold the required weight but we havent tested the program, the duarabiliy, we'll be over by 7 pounds...really it's not well built for us. We were at peace with this but seeing all the low scoring scrimmages has us worried. We are wondering if not having a lifter is an almost automatic pass during selection. We have mechanum wheels, we are quite fast, have a relable and accurate kicker. We are wonderinf if it will be worth the time during practice day to really dedicate most of our time to putting on the lifter. Any thoughts?
