The low goal has remained a viable alternative for many other teams in MAR this season.

Seemingly half of New Jersey, including 25, lost to 1676 at one point or another this season as the Pascack Pioneers breached and captured their way to wins in Mount Olive and Bridgewater. 1257 selected both Pascack (Mount Olive) and Raider Robotix (Bridgewater) to play in the playoffs this season, and came away with a gold and silver medal as a result.
No conversation about New Jersey's low goal robots is complete without talking about 5624. They are one of MAR's fastest low cyclers, partnering with 1676 at both of their district events, landing both of them two banners. 1257 won finals with them, and lost finals against them. They should not be under-estimated.

While 1676 is talented at the low goal, their real niche for their alliances was defense. They are, hands down, MAR's best defender this year. Their driving skill is ridiculous.
