I think its a bad idea to discout anybody until you see them in action.
At the DC scrimmage, I saw 422(it had wings

) and took a look at them in the 'pit'. All I saw was this solid piece off aluminum and a really simple goal grabber. I remember thinking "this one isn't gonna do well, the design is too simple and its the wrong strategery.'
Lo and behold, they win at VCU. Guess it wasn't to simple and was a good strategery.
Live and learn.
Gui and 422: Good job on a solid bot.
