230: Extremely accurate 2 Ball auto, and very accurate truss shot. Robot can take a beating from defense and still perform very well. Intake is fast and open for inbound tosses.

177: Another very accurate 2 ball auto. High release point allows bot to shoot over defense. Massive catching area allows it to receive many truss tosses intentionally. Drive train is very powerful and proves this bot to be a fantastic all around player. Overall deadly accuracy in the high goal and quick, fast intake will prove to be the perfect match for 230

4055: Very accurate auto is a must in this game, and 4055 does not hesitate to deliver. Their very quick and simple pick up mechanism is great for inbounding and receiving an assist from an inbounder. Like 230, they have a great, accurate truss shot. If defense proves to be too much for the other 2 bots, they can absolutely take the ball and get it into the high goal. Their drive train absolutely dominates in defense.

I would be scared for anyone who has to face this alliance at champs
It's an honor just to be included in this conversation, but I wouldn't want to come up against 195, 558, and pick one from 228,2067 or 2168.

195: We affectionately call your robot the hungry hippo. A 2 ball, hot goal auto and that 3-roller intake that can pick up and shoot before anyone sees it coming. The shooter is among the strongest we've seen - just ask the spectators in the 4th row.

558: Quite possibly the ultimate mid-fielder. They're quick with the truss shot, can push just about anything, and can dish out punishing defense. Our banana-shaped front frame rail is evidence enough of that.

228, 2067, and 2168: Any one of these adds an autonomous shot, quick inbounding, trussing, and defense.

The Connecticut State Championship is gonna be a blast!
