Note: I'm going to try to write this without tooting my team's horn

We were the 8th seed alliance at PNW DCMPs, and we beat the 1st seed alliance (like The other Gabe said in the 2nd post in this thread). We did it with very brutal defense. The other alliance had a good high goal shooter, a fast low goal shooter, and their own defense bot. Our team decided to be the defense bot and our driver is very good (in my opinion).

I think it could happen at Champs, but only if there is an amazing defense bot, and if that alliance can score faster than the other alliance (even while under defense).
