A bot that will give us the versatility to "let the coaches and drivers, win matches... not the robot". We'd like to be working at 100% when we come out of the box at our first regional, and stay working throughout. We've talked about it, and believe that reliability will be the MOST important thing this year. Work well, and work consistently throughout the competition season.

Hmmmm. "Score and descore" huh? That seems to imply that you know descoring will be a part of the 2004 game. John, do you know something you aren't telling the rest of us?
