While interaction was great (and pushing matches are always fun!), watching webcasts made me realize how much like 'Battlebots' this year's competition was. Lots of flipping, pushing, and tearing apart. I think a lot of teams went out there with a definite strategic plan but at the same time could only counteract someone else's strategy. Instead, they went out there with what they would like to have happened and just went along with what the other drivers and bots did. If you were losing, I guess all you could really do is play defense - and autonomous really determined who would play offense and defense. A lot of teams just gave up on their stackers and just cleared the field instead (of both robots and bins).

Beatty went with a great strategy again this year. What more can be said besides 'you can't win them all'? Now I'm just afraid that they will be quite a force to be reckoned with next year.
