I strongly believe that although the Beatty Hammond et. al. alliance was the strongest they were beatable or at least (tieable? Is that a word). We were finalists on the Archimedes field and lost to the alliance that made it to the finals against Beatty (#33, #254 etc.).

Our alliance was led by Haworth Holland (#74, a ball handler)and consisted of Motorola (#267), Baxter Heatwave (#312), Boeing ComBBAT (#21, yours truly) and Arab HS (I forgot the number). In our division semi-final match we scored 600 points, balancing both goals before the 1:00 mark, and getting all 4 robots in the endzone. It would have been a tying score of 700 if we had not dropped a large ball from the goal while placeing it on the bridge.

This was possible because Heatwave can quickly place a large ball on a goal and put the goal on the bridge from the floor (just like Beatty just not quite as reliable). Motorola lifts a single goal and places it on the bridge while on th floor. Thus it was possible, but just didn't happen.

Clearly the obvious (it's always obvious at the end)solution to dominate is to load the bridge from the floor and avoid having to balance your own 130lb mass on the bridge.
