Re: The Eh-Team. Video of Archimedes QF 3-1

To those saying that the "Eh Team" should exclude 4334 just because 2056 and 1114 team up a lot...

4334 was critical to that strategy. I know 1114 and 2056 had practiced tripling numerous times before champs with a regular sized wide robot, but I'm sure it wasn't nearly as pretty as the balancing on Archimedes. Seriously, who would have thought that two long robots could pull off a >10 second triple? It was all thanks to 4334. I know that second alliance was banking on you guys being left in the draft.

In my opinion 4334 was THE steal of Archimedes, and if it wasn't for 16, they would have been the steal of all four divisions. These guys were perfect for uber-fast balancing, had an excellent bridge manipulator, were awesome at stealing balls and, most importantly, basically solidified 2056 and 1114's balances. Could 2056+1114 won Archimedes with another wide robot? This FIRSTer doubts it. Kudos to you, 4334. In my mind, there is no doubt that without you there would be no "Eh Team."
