KSC Suprises

I was also suprised at the difficulty that the power bots had in the qualifying rounds, but that definitely turned around in the elimination rounds. The strategy definitely evolved as the competition played out, I saw more that 1 team that was losing 40 or 50 to 10 move out of the end zone to give the winning team 3 x 0 points, actually a pretty good strategy. Our team (Metal in Motion) never had less than 30 points in a match, but the break point seemed to be about 35, i.e. if you had 35 points in an elimination round you would win most of the time. I was also suprised by the lack of entanglement calls, it appeared that anything was OK as long as it did not actually become entangled in another robot. I did see some robots disabled for being to aggressive (i.e. reaching into another robot with a hook) We actually damaged our sister team from SC 342 when they tried to ram us in the quarter finals (the moral being if you're going to ram another bot be sure that you don't hit the pointy end !!). All in all however it appeared to be just good hard nosed competition, I think that this game will be one of the best ones yet. I can't wait for St. Louis !!!
