Hmm well.... As of the Long Island regional..... Thought RAGE was pretty cool.... I never got to see their bot on the field much until the finals cause I was so busy with everything else going on, but my team mates were telling me how good they were. True, a few times we went by their pit, there was an adult or two that would give us "evil" looks. But other than that it was ok. We even had a few of their team members come over to our bot before alliance selections, when neither one of us were in the top 8. I dont know their names, but one had a digital camera and the other a PDA and were taking notes about some of our features (I would imagine). Considering the time of day, and where our pit was, I know it made ME feel good as a rookie team to have them over (our pit was sorta shoved off to the side and we had very little attraction to other teams there).

At UTC, 4 of us just went to watch, and made the mistake of sitting adjacent to RAGEs area. A little too loud and demanding -- adult mentors screaming "GET THAT GOAL GET THAT GOAL... NOOOOO GET THAT GOAL" even when they were winning anyway.

And as for BattleCry.... I was fine with everything until all the bad attitudes in the posts here. I know when they got knocked down, not to be mean, cause it really does suck, I'm sure, but it's just a possible feature that can happen with that design... But I'm sure I wasnt the only one who felt that "the big bullies have finally fallen." But I do fully respect their robot.
