It was a kitbot on steriods (6wd plaction wheels with AMshifters) and a single jointed arm with a pinch claw for the low row. We averaged around 2-5 low tubes a match and a minibot all weekend and were the first pick by the 5th seeded alliance. Our low row tubes proved to be quite useful in matches as we were typically the primary scorer for our alliance and beat an effective tube scoring alliance in match 38 by one point!
Our 2011 record can be found
here. Notice how the average score for our alliances were around 30 points (excluding match 32 from sidecar problems).

At the Championship we mainly played defense, tube scoring, and 1s minibot.
