Team 401 The Hokie G.U.A.R.D an HONEST description

Just under 10 inches tall 118 lbs
Very fast, hops over the 4x6 in about 1 second
Best strategy is to either be the team that pushes the near goal over to the human players, or just immediately go across under the bar, if another team drives over the bridge, we drive back over it to right it very quickly. At 10 inches, we fit just under a balanced bridge, so we can greatly speed up balancing time of another bot by stopping a bridge that goes just past horizontal, so it can be backed up slowly, not fighting momentum. Then speeding into the end zone.
We were the first team chosen at the VCU regional, finished second in the tournament.
