I'm not sure. I was impressed with 51's use of their mechanums in their pre-IRI matches. They could play great tube defense when needed, as well as were a fast scorer, able to put up roughly 4+ tubes a match. Watching their matches prior to IRI, I would've loved to have them as a support robot, but the 51 I saw at IRI was not the same team I saw playing with High Rollers and The RAWC on Einstein. Still, that' not a knock to them in particular. A lot of teams suffered the same deal; as Ed said, 233 was included.`
