Re-read that. Curtis never said anything about
moving fast, just about
scoring fast. One of the things that made 217 so effective in a season of "oh shooters won't have a chance" was the fact that as long as they were saddled up next to you in pretty much any orientation (weren't they one of the ones that were scoring over other robots?), they could adjust and put a crap ton of balls in your trailer while most of their opponents had to be lined up just so. Could you still beat the Thunderchickens? Sure--it happened 14 times this season. But you had to bring your A game to do it.
