Wildstang was nuts out there, especially how it showed up at the end of autonomous ready to defend the stack. Wow, what a pain it was to try and get around them too. We ended up stuck on them for almost the entire match (Never thought of the robot going up that steep of an incline, the back bottomed out)

I think the 'only' logical way to beat Wildstang was to double team them from two angles, since they are so mobile with the steering, then like Truck Town in the finals, lock them in between the ramps.

I would definately like to know more about this positioning system, maybe after nationals you guys could explain it a little more in detail to all of us. We partnered with you guys a few times, and even though Raul said it would eventually find its way, I never realized it had that much intelligence. Every year I am amazed at the quality and content in the 111 robots. The machining and build is top notch, fantastic robot Wildstang.
