i did not see this match, but i know from a driver's perspective that nothing goes as planned and most of the time i did not now what the other robots were doing.

i think that FIRST is starting to look alittle like battle bots, but i don't believe it's their fault, it's ours. not to criticize anyone in particlular, but there were acouple of robots that my friends and i called battle bots, these included the robot that looked like a wedge and the robot with the lifting arm. these looked like they came straight out of battle bots.

i had to face that bot with the lifting arm in the quarter finals at long island and it was really frustrating, we couldn't move at all. fortunatly we beat them and made it to the semi-finals before another robot managed to rip wires out of our motors and pneumatics with their claw.

now, i'm not complaining about offensive driving, you probably saw i did alittle of that, i just think other teams should be considerate enough to not use their claw to rip wires out of motors.
