Thanks, Travis
I picture is worth a thousand words. I wish i had a picture to post. I think the strategy is: pick up the ball, and swing it round and round over the middle support of the overpass, getting 8 points each time. It is VERY complicated. I haven't figured it out completely, but i know it has 10 victors, a suction cup, an extending crane tower, an up down cable, and a confusing drive base. A significant amount of it is not done, and so it doesn't really work. They are currently ranked 44 out of 48 I think. So, bottom line: In a few weeks of time they could be so good that they might win every match. Until then, their not much of a threat.
