I had almost forgotten about that match. Only two robots managed to slow down the Poofs at Portland -- 753, when the Poofs finally had to give up on the center goal and run to score a bunch in the corner, and then 488, which held the Poofs for a long time until a short lapse in coverage let the Poofs do their insta-shoot trick. Those two matches were when I realized that to stop 254 you have to guard them every second, and if you make one mistake, they're gone.

I might make it to Atlanta. I'll look you up (and 492, and 330, and...)
