Beating Beatty...
For those of you who did not see Beatty at the West Michigan regional, there is one method multiple teams used to keep Beatty from getting any goals, I repeat 0 Goals. We were thinking it but team 68, Truck Town Thunder, did it first. All you have to do to keep Beatty from scoring any goals is turn them 180 degrees soon after they grab the goals. This doesn't appear to be super easy, some robots had to use both bots, others only needed one. I know teams 68 and 9 could do this by themselves. Once turned around, Beatty didn't do much, their proxy, which now makes weight with both arms, was directed toward their opponents endzone. I'd say that of all the Saturday matches Beatty only got a goal in their own endzone 40% of the time.
It should also be noted that the same team that won with Beatty in Chicago, team 107, picked them at West Michigan, but they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
