190 was a defensive robot, mostly. After getting 50 points for their team (plenty to do well in many qualifying matches), their wings kept other robots from hanging, and their arm could defend against the opponent capping the goal. I think there's a video around here somewhere of them uncapping their opponent, and bringing it all the way around to cap their own. It was a very effective strategy, and made them my favorite robot in Atlanta.
