I think Nika drove like...well...Miss Daisy (had she not been chauffeured by Morgan Freeman, that is)
Seriously! Nika's style was courteous, skittish, and civilized. Which fit our last 3 robots perfectly (in 2007 and 2008 we built agile omni-wheeled machines that could dance around anyone but lost to an office chair in pushing matches, and of course this year the name of the game was evasion). Put a harmonious robot/driver tandem like that together with another effective scorer (PA '07: 181, PA '08: 365, SD '09: 1332) and a bruising defender (PA '07 and '08: 84, SD '09: 2543) and you make quite a force!
