yes, 252, broadway and blackford high school and 254, broadway high school. 252 folded after that year and in 2001 254 moved to Bellarmine college prep.
Team 25 was the cradle robbing national championship robot. Our scouting team rated them as "pathetic" because during the qualifications, they rarely acted as a cradle robber and their arm was too big and akward to be effective scoring from the field.
The floppies had to be off the surface of the playing field, but it didn't matter what was supporting it to score points. And of course, 8 feet was the height to get 3 points.
The 1997 field was a hexagon, with a stack of each 1 of each colored tube in each corner, and 3 tubes in each player's station for 9 total tubes for each team. Each tube on the top of the goal scored one point AND doubled your score, so the maximum score was 4608. I know I saw Beatty score 5 tubes on top in a match, anyone score more? Also, that was the last year that a playing object both scored points and acted as a multiplier.
