Both Bomb Squad and ATA were compact compared to the NUtrons. I'm unsure of their dimensions but they were similar to ours which were 26"X34"X50".

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that their feeding strategy didn't come from design but rather by strategy. Where as 4334 designed their robot to be primarily a complimentary bot instead of a main scorer, I see it as once 125 realized how good they were at feeding they stuck with it and honed that ability.

Even though, our teams played together twice this year I never realized, just how good they are at feeding until qualification rounds at IRI.

I wish someone had video of match 46 when 125's alliance pulled off the upset victory against 1114 and 67. That match definitely goes in my list of favorite matches this year.

No offense Karthik, Mike and Adam.
But when I saw this match when we got the schedule, I knew it would be tough. There was no other strategy to employ other than ball starvation and feeding. We knew at the get go that no triple balance was going to happen.
The key to us winning this particular match however was during hybrid.
At one point before the other alliance made a single hybrid shot, I saw us winning 36-0 at one point.
We shot lights out during that match with 68. Every time we needed to load up balls, they were right there.
