Team 2067 from Guilford Connecticut.
They have a nice compact robot design that can also pick up off of the floor.
This is their practice bot and the floor pick up needed work.

Nonetheless, if unmolested, they can score four cycles at 12 points each added to 18 in autonomous. Thats 60 points. We'll see if that can happen as they would be easy to block.

However......
If they get their floor pick up working and it is effective, It will easily get those four if not five cycles.
Since they can sit under their pyramid, you can't defend that.
It will beat any climbing robot.

I think this is one of the top strategies for this game.

I'm not understanding what goal these are being scored in... If each cylce was 12 points, thats only 48 points not 60.
