As a result, anyone who intends to play the elims at States had better be working on a way to nullify that advantage. That's tougher than it sounds, because as you saw (if you were watching) at Troy, they seem to have improved maneuvering issues and now look to be a dangerous robot even without the redirection system. Kudos to them.

But if they seed first they will most probably pick 217, because they work so well togeather and have won their last two regionals. However, if someone else seeds first and picks them at least 217 will have to play them at some point in elims. Get my drift
