Your holonomic system worked very well and your manueverability was outstanding, but often times the area in front of the ramp was crowded and the lack of shooters at UC Davis (aka Sac-"cough"), meant you (and everyone else) got pushed around a lot. Also it meant not getting on the ramp. Anyhow - we so much enjoyed your gracious professionalism when our AndyMark omni's broke apart on us and you gave us not just one but two replacements - Thank you!!

We had to use two omni's on the back of our robot to improve our ability to turn.
