You could play defense, but they were stronger. 45 and 571 get mad props due to their 2x ball abilities though.

yeah, 33 and 45 were cool, but could THEY pick up the 10 point balls from the tee and put them in the big goal with the robot? HMMM? no? granted its illegal, but it was still fun to do on the practice field.
for those who've never seen
us
besides, shooting the balls out fast only helps when they don't bounce out (an annoying problem at times). it is pretty cool to see the robot dump a load of balls from mid-field though
(i don't have a movie, i'll post one if i find one)
my personal favorite ballbot would have to be 45. A high capacity hopper and an amazing capping arm made minced meat of the competition (including us). If we do end up going to IRI this year, I wanna see another 571 + 45 match (the twins, as Joel Johnson would call them)
