team 702 was there to see 330's match against 980 a few times even saw it tip once just to see it right itself up with these defensive wings and wedges it had.
the Socal Regional was very hard and proved to be drive train heavy, not just about pushing other robots around but speed to get around the field and great turning, this year (many years before in socal i hadnt seen this) due to the kit bot system every single robot turned and ran around (some stop tho due to tech problems)
in 702 scouting drive train was put first above a good arm, and the scouting predicted every match from the time we got there to the time we left, and was not wrong ever in any of them. the best and most worry some robots continued to be those with great drive trains. even the RAWC's machine ARIES 968 whose arm had not show much in the entire competetion got choosen but its drive train was awesome and it made it all the way to finals that way.
tho our team did not invest the same effort into a awesome drive system we ranked 3rd and went to Quarter finals (thanks to 599 and 1138) we ruled!!!, but i suspect that if anyone in socal woulda taken the time to make a crab bot or omni bot then we would be 4th lol
