Go to Post Some said the aluminum foil gave the robot a NASA-like quality, but others pointed out that blanketing components with a highly-conductive material that blocked air flow was probably not going to help get us to Einstein. - beerobber [more]

I did see a little mean robot 'Cerebral' or something like that take the center goal and team 60 and place them back against the operator station then the battery connection or breaker went. For those first few seconds the 'Cerebral' bot showed they had what it takes for speed and power. I think come Nationals when the full mix of superfast and superstrong robots combine you will see some matches unlike anything we have seen yet. Many of the strategies so far in grabbing 2 or even 3 goals involves getting there first or spending the rest of the 2 minutes towing one or 2 to get the other one. Effective blocking and keeping a robot inbetween your goals and the opposing robots gripper throws a real curve on things. And be prepared for not only a whole bunch more tethers but also some 'tether manipulators'
