The only word I've heard on 2-goal balancers that can do it WITHOUT being on ramp is Beatty.. others are you out there??? And can you do it RELIABLY?
Just under 800 isn't shabby either... if you balance 2 w/ a robot on, there are a lot of scenerios to get 70+ base points in under 1 min..
I'm sure we'll see (or at least I hope!) a lot of high scoring qualifying matches (400+)... although the chances of getting an 800+ is somewhat impaired by the 'divisions'... the chances of teams like Beatty getting the teams in their division that can do this little hat trick is that much harder...
But I would LOVE to see it happen.. let's work together and make it happen
