Chris,
I thought we had decided to keep this quiet for a few more years. Oh, well, the cat's out of the bag now.

This is an interesting discussion and one I certainly would like to carry on in person some time. But from Wildstang point of view, 2003 was not meant to be a purely defensive robot for us. We had killer auto modes (about 20 as I remember) and we knocked most of the ramp onto to our side of the field during those first few seconds. We didn't go defensive until well into the match when needed. What should be more telling is the teams we feared. How about the screaming Bomb Squad? No one could touch their speed to the top of the ramp in auto.
