I second that totally. Working with them at IRI I was blown away by a team that just had one goal; to put them and their partners in the best position to win. Their drivers are far and away the best I have ever seen. They work with the strategy given to them and adapt on the fly. Any team could just get a Simbotics robot, but unless you get the drive team you won't have anything. The reason they have won 800 competitions in the past three years is because their drivers are smarter, smoother, more prepared, and better than everyone they play.
ps I am one of those people that likes the winner. I love Simbotics because they win. I ride the 1114 bandwagon, I drink the 1114 Kool-Aid, I proudly wear my NiagraFIRST hat because I believe they are a role model team in all aspects of FIRST.
pps I really just sucked up in this post so that they will pick us in Atlanta.
