We have played full on offense and full on defense, and have been extremely successful at both.
We have never tipped and have never broken down.

Everybody better watch out for these guys.
It only takes them a few seconds to go from one side of the field to the other, a maneuver they used to great success at SVR. They were indefensible on the offensive end. We played against them in the quarters. Knowing that 604 would move to the offensive position, 3129 decided to set up in the home zone and launch our offensive attack. Even with our alliance's midfield robot dead in the water, 3129 poured in 8 goals that match, but 604's alliance still outscored us (final score: 13 to 10).
We figured with our alliance's midfield bot running for the second match, we could outscore 604's alliance. No dice. 604 changed strategy and locked us down in our home zone. We had to pull in our midfield robot and double-team them just to get any balls in. We got flattened, 9 to 4.
This just highlights Quixilver's versatility and adaptability. Like Eugene said,

That's no idle boast. They'll be a valuable member of any eliminations alliance at Atlanta, if not the captain.
Oh yeah, and they're in contention for the Dean's List, Engineering Inspiration,
and Chairman's Awards, too. These guys are the real deal.
Eugene, now that I've gone and put a target on your back (
),
knock 'em dead at Atlanta!
