well, at the NYC regional, our robot was able to keep the ball gettings rather preoccupied. one match, we were up against 19 (not sure of the two other teams). before the match, i had went over t olook at 19, and see how it did it's thing. the operators said they could push or pull anything. so, i took that as a challenge, and when i went out, well, you guess what happened...

fast forward to the match. ery beginning, we pushed the center goal into our scoring position, thne went and harrased 19. the first minute, i was "driving circles" around 19. they did not pick up more than a few balls. then, with a minute left, their battery died. i believe that match proved 810's effectiveness against ball getters.

now, jump to the quarterfinals. it's 810 and 694 against 340 and some other team. similar strategy, and we kept 340 from getting a goal, and let 694 get a goal and balls. we won. that match proved 810's effectiveness with a ball getting on the team.

in the end, you can see how a robot like ours can benefit many teams, cause we go fast, then pop up, and push a robot with a goal down the field. quite fun i must say.
