This year, they apparently weren't the world's best offensive bot, which is why they didn't do too well in quals - because they weren't paired with particularly good offensive bots. But once they got to the finals, paired with our full-court shooter and Holy Cows' brilliant ground pickup, they were able to exhibit their spectacular blocking.

I'd love to get a chance to pickup 968 in my division eliminations. This is the perfect full-back / defender that our robot could use.

It would be very difficult to lose the amount of experienced mentors that they lost and continue to perform at a high level. Even with all the loses, they were very good in 2011 and look like they have a robot that a lot of high powered alliances will be looking for in the second round.
