This is true, we won IRI with 68 that year. I just have a pretty strong feeling that a majority of the alliances will (maybe should?) be picking their third and fourth bots to swap in and out. Mostly (hopefully always) strategically, less due to damage. Although, looking at the scars on our bot and the amount of defense I've witnessed at SDR and LVR, damage related swaps are always a possibility.
These fourth bots open up a realm of possibilities for eliminations and Einstein.
I knew that the students on our team really understood what FIRST was all about when, two years later, our unofficial team motto changed from "we want to BEAT Chief Delphi" to "we want to BE Chief Delphi." - dlavery [more]
