My tongue was firmly implanted in my cheek with my comments about us not moving. Our ideal alliance isn't two scoring robots but only one. The third robot is there for defense and you clearly saw that with our picks for the NC regional. I believe 1287 only ever scored one ball throughout the event and that was in one of our matches because 4288 was out of commission.

So yes, defense is important and the period between us shooting the ball and the ball going into the goal kept getting longer so we had little choice but to play defense and play it we did.

Dual CIMs, high traction tread, six wheels.... that ain't just a robot for shooting giant balls.

The real question you should be asking is what we have up our sleeves for St Louis.
You've figured out a way to score a ball from the inbounder by bouncing it perfectly off the truss
