#1 they dont have any banner sensors on their robot that I saw
#2 the line sensors cannot possibly track the line fast enough at the speeds Kingman travels. I know this because we made a line follower, one of the only, if not the only successful one I saw, and It takes the full 15 seconds to get to the top of the ramp, which in my opinion is almost the fastest you can do it without using the gyro or other methods to speed up once you reach the bottom of the mesh.

From what I saw on team 60 they had a Fifth wheel that was at a fixed steering angle that dropped down to provide the perfect arc around the turn then it popped back up. It was configurable to go either direction.
