A word of caution to teams picking alliances: At BAE we were picked before a better robot (team 133 BERT) and that alliance defeated us in the finals. In Hartford I think that 1124 was the best third robot, and our alliance eventually won. Choose the third robot very carefully.

Thank you I thought we did well ourselves. Your team did an outstanding job scouting from what I was told from our pit crew. I think strategy is very underrated in the competition.

Also I have seen many people discussing the offensive vs defensive bots.. I think that you need a well rounded team to be successful. Like they always say offense wins games defense wins championships.

One of our best moments was when we played against gaelforce in qualifying and were able to limit their offensive onslaught by pushing their bot back. Even though we lost the match..
