665 is changing our ball dumping mechanism a little bit... we were probably getting 8/10 balls in during a dump before, we should be hitting 9 and 10 per dump with no jamming like we had at Florida

Let's see scouting wise, I have split scouting between me and another teammate and I have 39-1341. I have notes on all of the robots right now..the teams I'm most impressed with right now are:

61- For lightning fast dumps and reloads
201 - Great drivers, looked like they were mostly playing defense - I'm not sure if there will be any primary defensive bots on the alliances in Archi, but if there is, I would bet these guys would be high up there on that list
280 - While seeding 54th at the Michigan CMP, they were picked 5th and have great ball dumping speed and accuracy from what I've seen
488 - Looks good, accurate ball dumps, don't have a lot of info on them
624 - I think I was most impressed with 624 - these guys will make you pay if they get near your trailer, reminds me of 1114 a lot.
868 - Target acquisition, quick dumps and quick reloading make these guys a force to be reckoned with
1114 - Well built as always, they'll make you pay if they get near your trailer - but they've proven they can be beaten.

Consider this my mini-Looking Forward post for half of Archimedes. There are other good teams, but these are the ones that impressed me the most. I may post my observations for the next half when I get the results back.
