I won't retype Andy’s whole message, but it also applies for my team. T-192 didn't play to break other robots, we played to keep them from scoring. Besides, the game this year was begging for more contact between robots (i.e. holding baskets down, etc) and we expected that to be a trend. In fact, during the design stage we rejected many design drafts as they were 'too flimsy'. Turns out we were almost alone on that. I was surprised to see tons of leaning towers of sizzor lift, PVC baskets, and other low-load-bearing structures. It was completely not in our intent to break any piece of any robot we played. And as for our playing style, if you saw the Benji-bot demo, you’ll know we dwelt strictly within the limitations that were so clearly set. Please don’t hate us! I’ll extend the same coke offer… =)

G-Force loves you!!!
