These next teams are just below the ones above, but you still need defend them. 27 Team RUSH was good at West Michigan, so were 33 Killer Bees and team 85 BOB or Built On Brains.

The Martians did a lot better than I expected. I guess I didn't expect them to build a good shooter bot - I've only been on the team for one year, and it seemed like last year they did more defending than scoring. The Triplets also did great once they got on the platform it seemed - they made every shot if you didn't knock them around a bit.
We (Team 33) have been having a bit of trouble with different things on Buzz 11 (current bot) but it did pretty good at Grand Valley as far as things breaking and stuff. We didn't rank high but I think that's mostly because we got ganged up on and often got stuck with some not-so-good teams in the qualifying rounds (one didn't even have wheels

).
One of the ones I liked from Grand Valley was that real small, fast one - I forgot what team it was already but even though they only got one-pointers, they did it REAL fast, and they were able to get 10 points guaranteed right off the bat. BOB did really good too, like you said.
