Haha, we thought they were gunna have the same problems they had at kettering, aka a tilted hang. Our strategy with them was to hit them after they attached to the tower to make them hang sideways, and therefor a dead robot for the rest of the match. Turns out they fixed that problem. Also the way that 51 and 469 do the loop is very different and in my opinion 469 is much easier to block and much more worth it. 51 has a great robot even without doing the the loop. 469 has never had to play a match, there drivers are inexperieced (I'm guessing), they have a slow, one zone robot. 51 is actually my faviorite bot so far this season! I hope I am not underestimating 496, I am amazed at what they did this year and still think they have a great bot... but they are beatable.
