We made sure in all of our matches that the number two slot was occupied by a Cheval de Frise or one of the category C defenses. I don't remember any matches at Tech Valley in which we could have employed this technique, so other teams must have been looking out for it as well. From watching other events, it seems that a decent number of teams have picked up on this, and it will become an even more rare occurrence as the season goes on.

Nonetheless, an impressive feat to behold. Curving the Boulder isn't the easiest thing to do. Good job on the technique!
