Goals: 1 or 2, can release independently, lock them to chasis
Balls: 10 player station, average 9.9 (literally) 99/100
Tether: Yes

Regionals:

Long Island: 13th seed, Had one problem twice, fixed the problem totally. We were picked by the Aztechs and they had us play every game (never opted out) we went to Semi-Finals and lost in the third ,match due to the Cyber-Knights accidently running their grabber into our pneumatics/electronics (protection added afterwards and works well). Machine performed very well

UTC: 7th seed, Machine did great! Lost only one Qualification Match and it was by 3 balls, and it was against the Aztechs and another high seeded team, 45 to 48. If we would have won the match we would have been second place... if if if... Picked Buzz and 716 for Partners, won Quarter-finals in 2 games and lost in the third match of the Semi's to RAGE.

I haven't posted any pics of our bot anywhere but I ahve some really nice pics of it with 2 goals and 10 balls, if you want some jsut message me (AIM or CD) and I'll set up an FTP account for ya'

I Dl'ed all of our matches at UTC from Soap, I don't know if I'm allowed to redistribute them but I have an account set up, so if I'm not allowed would someone from SOAP contact me, until then

I'd reccomend watching match 33 to see the immense power of Pneumatic hoses!! and that problem which was repeated in the match folowing that one was due to Weight reduction and was fixed and as you can see the grabbers work perfect in every following match.

CAN"T WAIT FOR NATS!!!

Oh Btw as you can see from vids, we are powerful, and we can handle two goals pretty well and one goal extremely well. Peace!
