Should be able to get 70+ in Auto every time and potential for 90. Nearly every disc will be scored by this alliance, plus stealing discs from the opponents.

There are a lot of Texas teams going but I think this combination has the most offensive capability.
Allen, Thanks for the kind words. We are definitely honored to be mentioned on alliance with two teams we consider to be teams we aspire to be like.

We have been working on dialing in shooting at the 3 more consistently as well as improving shot time at the 3 point shot. The shot time for the 2 was much less for the 2 at Alamo and Hub City. We added two speed transmissions (first time for our team ever) at Alamo and it took most of the tournament to get comfortable driving with them. We hope we have discovered and can demonstrate some improvements not only the robot and drive team but also in shot selection on the course.

I know that 148 offers the 20 point hang which is a definite advantage that we do not offer.

I believe at Championships that ground pickup and stealing from your opponents will be a big difference in winning and losing. The limited supply at your feeder station will be depleted in many matches I believe. Teams will need to be aware and take advantage of this. The points scored from these frisbees will most likely be the difference in the matches.
