Re: Where's the defense this year?
If anyone saw the Arizona regional, in Quarterfinals and Semifinals we played defense. It worked quite well, because our alliance was good at offense :)

Re: Beatty's 2004 Robot
You know, it probably was a bad move on his part for not getting permission first. However, I don't think anyone should flame him over it, especially Beatty ;)

Re: Do We have a trend here?
They did the best average out of 2 matches last year... it was horrible in my opinion. Best of three accounts for one team just having horrible luck in one of their matches... at least more than 2 ;)

Re: 66 needs your help!
Bouncing how? If it is bouncing in the way I am thinking, it may be because you are accelerating too fast. You could try and fix this in programming by making your drive motors gradually increase to...
