-Team 1214's Human player is ON FIRE (near 95% accurate). Must be because he gets a lot of practice from all of the balls they get fed.
-I thought Team 45 was pulling their punches!
Technokats weren't hung, because they were leaning against the side of the platform. You need to be totally higher than the platform (and not touching it) to score.
-The vertical bar rule is if you are leaning on the vertical bar as so if the v-bar wasn't there, you would swing down to touch the platform, then you don't get the points.
-Ford's TNT was the only robot I saw hit the 10 pt ball semi-consistantly
-No goaltending penalties yet - that's surprising. LOTS OF False Start (crossing 3' line during auto) and encroachment (robot enters ball corral) penalties though. Penalties have been deciding factors in around 10 or more matches. Also, only ONE replay match so far (it was a ball-dump malfunction)
-I think the highest score was 125 so far.
