Haha thanks a lot Ian. We had built one heck of a strong defensive robot and that led us to the win at SoCal.
We had been able to stop a lot of teams at SoCal, such as 599, 330, and also 968 during a qualifying match, which later went on to become our alliance leader. 968 you guys RAWC.

We had a 2 speed 6WD using the AndyMark 2 speeds. Thank you ANDY BAKER for such a robust gearbox that gave us absolutely no problems during competition. We used the IFI Traction wheels, 6" diameter and 2" wide. After the finals at SoCal, our treads were really worn down, so we're going to change them at Nats.
