[Mr. B 2851]

The 469 auto is beatable. Our programming team came up with an auton mode that wedged us at a 45 degree angle in the opposing alliance's tower during our second to last qualification match. We then played a game of cat and mouse and would dart out to kick some balls to our offensive zone and dart back to the tower to block them. They did manage to get past us and get into the tower by the end of the match but I don't believe they scored more than their auton shot in that match. We finished the match with a 2-2 tie which I considered a victory against them.

We tried to run the program on our alliance's robot with a similar auton in the semi-finals, but unfortunately team 313 was too tall and was unable to wedge in the tower. 469's auton just pushed their bot aside quite easily.

All-in-all it is an amazing robot... as long as they have a teammate who can score (as we painfully saw in the semi's!).
