And a beautiful thing it is, too! Thanks 2337!

Wow -- the practice matches! Routinely putting up 100+ for both sides, flirting with 200 for "just three robots"! This is going to be some show!!!

Um, can anyone post a video of 67 going up the tower? I just saw the match where they drove up and "spit" for 20 and am incredibly confused as to where that arm came from...I really don't think there's enough space within their robot for an arm of the size it is to have come out of the belly of their robot... (but seriously, )

There's plenty of space. Their arm is very similar to 1114 - they climb the same way.

I think 217 and 1023's arms work the same way to... although 217 has yet to climb the tower.

Still has not been a match where both alliances were under 100 points absolutely crazy how much quality there is

I was kidding...it's an incredibly designed robot and by far one of the most compact I've seen. The sheer point density in that robot is amazing.

Sorry. Sarcasm is hard to read

Yes, 67 will be incredibly scary once everything is going 100%.

Who am I kidding, they're scary now.

I will miss regionals but this makes me excited for an eventual move to districts for some reason.

That 186-181 match (#57) must have been a heartbreaker.
I would guess that 181 is the highest score posted by a losing alliance this year

FYI at MSC the LOSING alliance average score is currently 111.5!
winning:150.6
So competitive...
