Eric G is an unknown quantity at this point
We were not in the top 8, but we were making our list on Friday just in case we were seated. We decided that it was important to choose teams that:

have the ability to win a pushing match.
have the ability to climb the ramp.
have an autonomous mode that would mesh well with one of ours.
have professional/cooperative personalities.
have good control over their bot.

In retrospect, I would recommend considering teams who can limbo under the bar, and move quickly and accurately. 977 was a small simple bot. Those guys could go where they wanted to and if you knocked them out of the way, they quickly ran right back to where they wanted to be. Good job you guys (and girls (and machines)).
