Re: Team 1625 at Midwest Regional
Our three-year veteran driver said that Team 1625's defense from this year's robot is the most difficult he has encountered. We are used to hard pushers, but with crab drive we usually can swerve around them with some degree of success. However, 1625 also has a capable crab drive which makes them highly manuverable. We teamed up with them in the qualifications and they put the hurt on 111--so much that 111 went on the defensive. Because of their defense, in the eliminations we had to switch strategies and become a decoy--this allowed our alliance partners to score.

We liked the teams we picked (501 and 1739), but it would have been fun to run with you guys--you were on the short list. Your team and machine deserve to be at Nationals.

Sincerely,

Brian Beatty
