I'm sure it has happened and will happen at more regionals. I don't think it was just Heat Wave or Swamp Thing, though I didn't personally see them do it at UCF, another team with a big arm swiped them all down on Friday in autonomous. That was pretty cool
. Somebody had once said that since we were the first to start off the reginoal competitions at KFC everybody already knew what to do after watching our mistakes. I guess we always had great robots, we just didn't have that advantage of watching competitions to know what to do before we did it.
Wild Stang's robot is VERY similar to swamp thing and they've been known to put out GREAT robots every year so it's likely they'll be able to do it the same deal. I always see them in the finals at nationals so it's possible. Theres still a bunch of regionals left right? How about all the delphi teams or beatie the beast. I don't THINK I've seen them play yet.
Yeah and Heat Wave has been known to be a cocky bunch. I remember in 98 when they seemed to be nice. After that .......... They have a pretty sweet drive system though. They've used the exact one for 6 years now but it's light weight and pretty strong so that's probably one of the reasons to their success. I even wonder if they're prebuilt them that they're so similar. :/ ehh. never know
