They basically climbed over right away in teleop (probably will do it in auto for their next event imo) and then kicked the other 3 balls over. From there, they'd either play midfield or run a 2 on 1 offense. They weren't the best at either of these since they lacked possession, but their whole game is played around getting early ball advantage anyway. Basically if you lock up the opponent's zone so there are no balls there, you get 3 on 2 in the zones with balls and effectively control the game.
Part of their domination was due to the fact that no other alliance could do this at WPI. The 5th alliance (2791 195 1124) could grab 1 ball in auto and kick 2 into the midfield if everything lined up right, making the game a lot more contested, but they got knocked out by an alliance that was worse equipped to handle 230.

And was 8-9 points about the average in elims?

If you exclude Final 2, where 20 just stopped moving for some reason, yes.

Can they sweep balls into the goal efficiently?

Their kicker automatically fired which made it tricky, but they scored very effectively in every zone.

I hear they are a very good bot, but have never seen them myself. Anyone have pictures?
