Anyone else hear that and agree?) and 103. We played against 103 at NJ and at Nationals and they were always so quick that it was nearly impossible to play defense against them without getting a penalty. Unfortunately in our last qualifying match against them a wire to our arm came loose so we were resigned to playing defense and it was extremely difficult. If their lift mechanism was only a little bit faster I would have favored them to win it all.
Another robot that impressed me was 469. The could stack 3 at a time and I remember a qualifying match where they stacked 3 twice along with 2 other tetras on the center goal making it 8 high and no other bots could cap over that.
The best drivers have to be either 330's or 254's. Watching them both compete in the finals was a sight to see. Congrats to them along with their alliance partners.

i'm sure our driver would be happy to know this. this is his first year on the team and he is a freshman... i'm sure most of u know him from his... well... shortness. but he sure stepped up under the pressure. it was awesome!
