Throwing a match.
I can see being in 8th place with 1 or 2 matches to go.
Seed #1 "really" wants us as a partner. Do we screw over our partner for a match to place 9th?
I can't answer what we would do (not honestly) until the situation presents itself. I want to believe we would do our best always and not throw a match to further our own carreer. And yet winning is really part of a competition. So pairing with seed #1......

I hope the judges watch the BattleBot mentality VERY closely. That will drive me out of FIRST faster than almost anything else. Allowing deliberate destruction. Gracious Profesionalism goes just so far. A few DQ's will help this game a lot more than some *spirited* goal grabbing.

And for teh record we build everything in pairs from teh start. Some parts in threes and fours. So I know we're good to not cheat on building. But we could pull an all nighter on thursday of the regional if we needed to.

Less than 2 weeks. On the better side of that about 30% left..Hell I've driven awful far on 30% of a tank on my bike :-)

Later all.
