Yay! Blue Cheese is coming, and we are bringing everyone!

A unique ball possession mechanism grants them positive control over the ball for 2-second periods, but then they have to release it (since it extends beyond the bumper perimeter). They proved their ability to take care of the offensive zone and hang effectively when playing with 1114 in Waterloo and GTR, and if they can find a partner who allows them to play within their comfort zone they'll be a definite factor in the eliminations.

I am willing to say I am legitemately impressed and intimidated by 2056. They have played 33 matches, loosing only three of those, and those due to 1114 being on the opposing alliance all three times. I am ignoring any record this team may have had in other games, OP has the robot and the drivers to fly into Einstein and give everyone a fight for their lives!
Good Luck to Everyone!
Sincerely,
Petrie
