Yup, I agree. I just saw them at Lone Star Regionals. They had a great dumper and a great drive train. So they could actually defend themselves. They were seeded first place. Also, our alliance partner for the finals, 1421. They had a beautiful autonomous mode. They rolled their collection rollers backwards and shot the balls to the corner goal from their starting position. They could also go up the ramp easily, they were short so they were stable (they never theatened to fall down at all). And also people forgot that they were on the field because they were small. So while other defensive bots would harass our other alliance partner, 231, who was our shooter, 1421 would just zip around and score a gillion.
