I just finished watching a video we shot of our 8th match at the championship... we played defense against your red alliance. It is neat to see this swerve robot in action it was able to out maneuver our attempts to block. The only weakness was when switching from forward to strafe delayed the robot enough for the tank drive (perpendicular) to be able to catch up, but then a rotating maneuver put an end to that.

Who knows... maybe in 2012 we'll be on the same alliance.
