Really? 2815's robot, a power dumper, seemed to be a hit at the demo we did at the South Carolina Teacher of the Year banquet. Granted, 2815 was one of the more violent (for lack of a better term) power dumpers I encountered this year--with two CIMs on the conveyor system and two more CIMs on the exit rollers, we aren't hurting for action as long as there are balls around. (No, 1618's coach didn't try to exploit that vulnerability at all during a match against them at Palmetto. )

Failing that, this thread might be of relevance.
