Consistency is our top priority, with speed being second.

I'm not discouraged. If I were the type to get discouraged, I wouldn't be in FIRST. Last year was our best year -- FLR top seeded champions -- and the year before was our worst out of six... We're not the type to go packing just because we're frustrated!

That said, someone mentioned something about the HOSTBOT not being able to deploy the MINIBOT, and that has me worried that I've missed something... The HOSTBOT is permitted to push the MINIBOT onto the tower pole, right?
