We had 1495 sit right in front of 225 several times in order to give them more horizontal distance for their shots to rise.

They also have a "stinger" that they use to anchor to the floor, so pushing them vicariously through a second robot positioned in front of them (not in the protected area) is not very effective.
Very cool, I would love to see match video.

I love that so many old vet teams who haven't had a solid season in a long while are getting back into the thick of things this season. Really good to see 225 doing well. At TCNJ, 293 was also doing really well, they haven't exactly had a solid machine since about 2007 or so. 303 also looks to be in much better shape.
