Also, I don't know if it was a problem with your scouting, or our reporting. But your description of our robot seems a little off. The robot was a 2 wheel arcade drive with pneumatic strafe wheel. Also we only had one autonomous mode, but one that could start anywhere on the field as we DID use the camera.
Again I don't know if it was our team's inability to pitch the robot, or your recording or a little bit of both. Off topic, but this is something that I am very concerned about with our team, and shows once again the importance of business(presenting, connecting, presence, and marketing) on FIRST, because many times it is not how your robot performs, but the percieved value of your robot that gets you a chance.

I'd go more with the ability to pitch because I wrote down what Josh said.
