[GAMO]

I think one of the reasons why we were able to take it to the win is because we had good team dynamics:

540: Excellent scoring
843: Average scoring, Average defense
2108: Excellent defense + ramps

I was worried in the semi-finals against the 2068 alliance, but after 540 pulled that awesome manoeuvre, I knew we were going to win. The problem with having only a ramp robot, is that if you deploy early in the game, you're pretty much unable to do anything else, so instead of having 3 robots on the field at once, you only have 2.

To be brutally honest, I think that this year's game is a disappointment. I think that during design, they didn't realize how difficult it would be to get ringers onto the rack. From day 1, I thought that going end-game for the 60 bonus points was the way to go, and our team tried to build ramps so that most robots could get onto them. I guess bonus points to us because we tried to design around other people's robots and that we "got" this year's message. Oh well, here's to next year hoping that we have flying game pieces again!
