How about two fast, agile, efficient scorers and one torque-y ramp bot? That seems like a working combination to me -- Leave each bot to focus on one task as opposed to trying to both defend and score simultaneously.

Having two ramp-bots is a good idea, though, in case one is more effective, that one could be used mainly, but if all else fails, the backup one could deploy.


It'll be interesting to watch the games at Atlanta, to say the least. If 675 doesn't go, I'll definitely watch it on the web-feed and probably cheer for some team that I've seen at San Jose or Davis.
