[Mini-D67]

So it left 67 with having to perfectly get to the load stations then outmaneuver the guarding robot then try and get to the goal then drop a tetra while getting pushed repeatedly. They actually managed to do it more than I would expect under those conditions with the aid of a good driver and a maneuverable swerve drive. Definitely like the robot, amazing how many people were complaining to the refs about your feelers on the front even after the refs agreed they were OK!?

You hit the nail on the head with that one. It seemed every match we were with inexpirenced teams/drivers and against powerhouse teams... that matches we were with 'good' teams we did sweet. Oh well, you cant expect to have the best of luck at every event....

I guess in the end, the robot took the brunt of the bad luck and left nothing but good luck for our Chairmans chances!
