I think you guys should be trying to rig the matches, to be aligned with 1646 at IRI!
While this does appear to be impressive, let's look a tad closer:

Base driver from 71: If the base driver gets the least bit irked, she might throw a tool or deck somone.
Arm driver from 148: The last time this person drove a robot, the seat motor was the biggest in the kit. Also, this driver can only operate if there is a set of long horns on the front of the 'bot.
Human Player from 180: Since this mentor is used to operating underwater robots, he might be thinking that we are competing in a pool. Please, spare us from the speedos.

I really feel sorry for 1646's student coach.
