I remember that match too! That said, they were pretty hit or miss that year. We were really worried about playing them, but they fell over on the stairs in autonomous, making it a 2v1 match. That happened a few times at BAE, and I believe as the season progressed they gave up trying for the stairs in autonomous as it was too risky. I'm not surprised 190 has the most Xerox creativity awards, it seems every year they build something real out of the box that is just plain neat. Sometimes it excels (see 2007), and sometimes it falls flat (see 2005), but it is always neat to watch their crate open!
