A lot of 230's damage is done before you can get to defending them. The three in auto, then they manage to swerve and kick one or two before you can slide them across the floor. 4-5 + 2 for hanging from one partner while they draw all the defense is not too shabby at all. They won't carry an alliance at the Championship, but they're a fairly flexible component of one.

Other bots worth a mention just from what I've seen in person would be 20, probably one of the best striker type robots with their swerve drive and ability to loft over defenders. Extend my comments to what you've seen on webcasts and you'd hear the same "1114, 217, 469" from me.
