Re: Best low goal robot

A deeper dive at just how good 3683 was this year.

GTR Central
#1 Seed
9-1, 31 RS
Regional Champs
1st in OPR (by 16+ points!)

Waterloo
#3 Seed (In an event that featured 148, 610, 1114, 1241, 2056, 4039, 4678, 5406)
9-4, 40 RS
Semifinalists (Took one match off of the eventual Champions 1241/610/3560, the same alliance how ended 2056's streak)
7th in OPR

Galileo
#2 Seed
8-2, 34 RS
Semifinalists
13th in OPR

These guys were consistently scoring with and competing against some of the best high goal robots in the world and managed to play to their level and then some. Utterly impressive for a low goal + hang strategy.
