Re: 2012 Greater Kansas City Regional

FYI: On the shooter versus the catapult versus the other debate...

Our scouts had the following robots as the top 6 offensive scorers. (Not in rank order.)

16 - Catapult
935 - Catapult
1208 - Under wheeled shooter (hood ?)
1825 - Under wheeled hooded shooter
1986 - Under wheeled hooded shooter
3528 - Scissor lift dumper

Really shocked that 1825 went so late in alliance selections.

Thrilled to see it split 50:50 between wheeled shooters and other types. For those who think this game doesn't allow for variety in designs...

Several other great designs that will be very dangerous at their second regional with a little tweaking.
