We were one of the many teams bullied at the fender by 4083. The coolest things I saw their drivers do was push an oposing team around the opponents' key in one match, then push an opponent into 4083's own key to get foul points, THEN pushed them into their bridge for more points. Insanity.

It looked like a Kitbot on Steroids, but I feel like they hid some ridiculous gear reduction to be a bull in the proverbial china shop.

The Dorton Arena, while dated, is one of the coolest venues for FIRST. It's a very calming place where the sunlight peaks through and the cool mornings fill the pits. I stress out like crazy on drive (at VCU, you would see my crayola-red face stomping around the pits in a mad dash to find other drive teams) but at NC, it felt easy going like an offseason event. Definitely stressing to my team how much they should go back next year.
