Andy, that is an impressive itinerary. And it explains why we have not seen each other yet this season -- I was at KC, Waterford, Midwest, and Niles. Are you coming to MSC?
The Digital Goats have been inspiring me for several years now. Most memorably at the 2007 St. Louis regional when both 829 and 45 were deep picks (seeded in the bottom half of the field) by the undefeated #1 AC 1444, and that alliance took down the amazing combination of 148-217 in an epic final. (epic = Andy Baker, Paul Copioli, and John V-Neun all coaching, and the rack filling up.) The Goats' aggressive driving in that final was a deciding factor.
I have only seen 829 in video this year, but even from a distance their robot is awesome. Wish you guys played in Michigan. Maybe MARC?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
