Poohbear, I think we're mocking your pompous attitude rather than your design. As it stands your statements defy physics (and even your followup breaks 1 of Karthik's 2 Golden Rules as Chris pointed out). If this bot worked at you've presented it, then the universe would quite literally rip itself apart from all of the electromagnetic law violations. Thus, we're going to error on the side of caution .... err, at least I will ... because I like my life, and want to live to see May without the world ripping itself apart.

Thread Revival Warning: I saw this post in the spotlight quotes. What are Karthik's 2 Golden Rules? Or was that just made up in this post?

Karthik's 2 Golden Rules are most definitely a thing. I've quoted them below:

• Golden Rule #1: Always build within your team’s limits
• Golden Rule #2: If a team has 30 units of robot and functions have maximum of 10 units, better to have 3 functions at 10/10 instead of 5 at 6/10

These come from a presentation by Karthik about Effective FIRST Strategies, for which you can find the slide deck here. Highly recommend reading it, it is incredibly informative and pretty awesome.
