The basic strategy (I just got home, pardon my not-in-depth analysis):

Team 71 and 1 went over the bridge in train with 71 in the lead.
After 71 reached the ground, team 1 tended the bridge for the other teams.
Team 85 would slide under the bar and load one big ball on the far end goal in blistering speed.
Team 33 took the close-end goal to the player station, where they loaded in a conveyor-style manner (very fast human players I must ad...hey OKE!)
Meanwhile, Beatty attached to the goal and would await 33's arrival ushering in the second goal. As Team 1 tended the bridge to make sure 33 could get across, Beatty got ready to recieve the other goal to balance.
As 85 and 1 got into the end zone, team 33 dropped off the goal and followed their lead as Beatty did what they do best and balanced both goals on the bridge and then they rushed into the end zone. They still were 8 seconds from the minute barrier.

That, my friends, is how its done. (Told FIRST hand by my boyfriend: team 1's turret and boom operator)

p.s. I would like to say that team 66 gave it one heck of a try and they deserve a lot of recognition because they really kick bottom. I LOVE THOSE GUYS!! Beware the penguin.
