Actually, it was:
Hub City (Lubbock) Finalists (w/16 & 4063) Week 1
Lone Star (Houston) Winners (w/118 & 148) Week 2
Alamo (San Antonio) Winners (w/2468 & 4063) Week 5 (I think)
Here's the YouTube link:

If you are going to look into how we played, you need to watch some whole matches after you watch the Shut 'em Down video. Pay attention to position and orientation as well as driver skill. A big part of playing defense in our style is to understand both the rules and the opponent's robot. We do a LOT of work to understand both of these.
FYI: Our drivetrain last year was a 4 CIM skid steer, 12:1, with the 2008 FIRST Wheels (6") from AndyMark. For 2014, it's a 6 CIM drop center with timing belts, 12:1 transmissions, and AM roughtop (6") for the center wheel and 2008 FIRST Wheels (6") on the ends.
See you at Alamo and Dallas!
