And then we beat 217, 233, and 1272 who include one of the national champions and the returning champion of IRI and a crazy amazing defense bot. We had to play all 3 matches in QF's, SF's, and finals. I think we only won 1 match where the beast didnt make it on the ramp because they are so amazing and unstoppable when they got up there. And 910 foley freeze was the best defense out there.

I agree! I think we proved that two awesome offensive robots and one strong and fast robot dedicated solely to defense beats out three offensive in the long run. In the finals, we ping-ponged across the front of the goal pushing 233 and 217 and never let them get off a decent volley, pinned them to stop them from loading up, and tried to keep them off you when you were on offense. Meanwhile you TWO were pumping them in on offense and when 71 got on the ramp, 1272 had no way to cover you both. It's funny because on paper you don't see us winning the championship, but I think our balance and strategy (and of course a bit of luck!) did the trick! It was great partnering with you! See you next year!
