Agreed! We will be trying to top them again....next year. and now that we failed at it this year, I hope they win in Atlanta, not only because they deserve it but, also because then our team can say we lost twice in semis to world champions lol

And I think the reason they are so darn good, is mainly because the bot is very well contained (it doesn't break out of the 28x38x5ft box much) so the driver can drive the course without much thought of damaging the bot, not having to worry about arms and stuff getting hung up with other robots or feild elements, greatly increases you driving abilities. That and they have had a billion years of driving that thing (they ALWAYS do a two speed 6 wheel drive)

I love the bot, and how simple it is. I hope it goes all the way this year!

Good luck in Atlanta 1114!
