Simplicity or Complexity?

Its more of a strategic opinion. I think that the first 4 days of building season are always the hard ones, as a team decides to pick a path to move on too and build a robot. Options are endless (within the rules and kit part), some teams decide to keep it simple, while others use different methods to make it more complex (mainly drive systems, or any other mechanism).

So what do you think in terms of Simplicity/Complexity of making a robot?
One of the cardinal rules of engineering is to keep things as simple as possible while solving a problem. But on the other hand, sometimes complexity comes handy too (from learning and strategic point of view).
