Understand the game Read the rulebook, understanding it is key. Even if you think there would be a rule against a certain strategy, there might not be. Team 469 shows a good example of this.
Strategy Dictates Design Think of the best possible strategy. In 2010 Las Guerrillas dominated the game by putting strategy first.
A bigger bot isn’t always better. Nor is a more complicated one.
Specialization vs God Bot A god bot is something you should always shoot for unless you could score more points and be more effective dedicating your robot to one thing.
Offensive vs Defensive 2015 was a non offensive game, but 2016 will be different. Bumpers will be a requirement this year.
