[Cody Carey]

Our team was a hybrid with the emphasis on the ramp ability. We are not any more. We are a hybrid with emphasis on scoring. In the quarter-final matches, once we got a little practice, we were scoring 5 tubes in one minute, then having to go back to the home-zone to attempt the 2-12 lift. As far as I know, 12 seconds per tube is one of (if not the) fastest recorded scoring times. And if our alliance partners can drive up a ramp with eight-twelve inches of leeway depending on your wheelbase, we can easily score the sixty bonus at the end of the match.

Hybrids need to be watched, and not underestimated because of preconceived ideas about needing to specialize a robot to do well.
