thanks lora - it was nothing personal ;-)

firmly believe though that the harder the competition, the better all are robots and drivers become.. tough robots make you play to higher standards and do that much better in order to win.. when you have quality robots opposing you, you have to be more careful about making the little mistakes and judgement calls..

i have to say, some of the toughest 'bots i saw in 3 years of driving came against on the road to the finals at the New England regional last year.. 69 and 177 came down to 4 matches!! (4 times our tower was slammed around and my stomach did a whirl).. all of our best-of-three were played to three... but we did better cause our competitors forced us to rise to the occasion..

my votes on some of the most agressive teams of the past (and/or solely 99 and 2000) would be 177 and 190..
