I agree with you wholeheartedly Kevin. At any given competition, there is simply no possible way that one good team can carry the rest to victory. Whether a robot only has to go to the end zone, if it does that reliably, quickly, and consistently, the alliance would be absolutely nowhere without them. As far as I can see it now, there are 3 essential robots to a team: A ball handler, a bridge-tender, and a limbo-bot. I might be forgetting one class of robot but thats what i see. The alliance won, and although I have no doubt that Heatwave is a terrific machine, there's no way that they did it by themselves. btw Mike, 2 goals w/17 secs left (2x2x1.5=6) IS better than 1 goal w/61 secs left (2x2.5=5).
