Re: Team 4334 VS 148 @IRI (Video)

I want to congratulate 4334 on a fantastic season and that especially awesome spot of defense on 148 at IRI.

I also want to point to this quote, because I don't think any other could fit ATA's season better. Shooting 3-point baskets with mild success wouldn't be extraordinary--i.e. many other teams would be doing the same thing. Feeding is fairly ordinary because it is the Plan B for all the teams that tried to be great scorers, but ran into inconsistencies with their shooting. But they are able to feed better than anyone else because their design and drivers' practice has been centered on it.

We need to look at these designated, successful feeder bots not as a lower tier of robots, but as machines which are at the top of their own respectable class.
