Re: Why go over the bump
Agree with JABot67. In 2010, out team theorized that the tunnel would be too easily dependable to bother even designing the robot to go through. We were able (and fairly effective at) traversing the bump. As we all know, the tunnel did not get defended very much at all, and teams (like 254) used it with no problem.

This year, we have elected to go over the bump. Why? We again think (and probably incorrectly) that the bridge will be too easy to defend. Also, we want to be fast, and lining up with and crossing the bridge is not "fast."
