We decided to build a thrower bot to beat KOH bots. We figured that if the KOH bot got to the top first that we would only have to get 3 more bins on our side to win if they left our stack alone. We could spend most of the time pushing their bins out of the way and then throw three bins across the bar and then go under the bar. Even if they knocked our stack down we were still able to stack four tall. But we never had the chance. You would only need to get 26 or more points to win and 7 times 4 is 28. But thats in a perfect world and as we all found out this game is nothing like we thought. We only threw 4 or 5 bins the hole 2 days, and that was more for fun than anything. The crowd loved it.
