if you look at the stats of the shooters and the arm bots, the shooters where scoring more (1625 with 6 hurdles), and more consistently. just my 2 cents.

I think that is a big claim to make without bringing any numbers (besides 1 match) and looking at the teams. According to 1732's scouting numbers, 1625 and 1730 were #1 and #2 in hurdles per match. 1736 was #6 and 141 was #10. Also, all of those four teams are not your average teams. Without looking at thier robots, I would have expected those 4 teams to be near the top in scoring. So, was it that they built shooters or because they are just good teams? Its like having 111, 233, and 1114 build arms bots and compare those three robots to three rookie shooter robots. I would bet that the arms would be better, but just because they were built by better, more experienced teams.
I would have liked to see an alliance against the 1625 and 1730 alliance slow the match down, keep the scores low and attempt to win it at the end by placing.
