We will have to get in a real match at PARC

I do like your drive train though. Its very sweet that you can change it out quickly if you have too.

Thanks for all the complements and questions. We are always around in the pits too for specific detail. Brad is geting good at explaining these.

As for the pushing...
I was instructed specificly not to push anyone, just to accomplish the task at hand. We do tip, but I have not tipped since practice rounds, note they are practice rounds. I was trying new stuff. I also only ran away in first gear, because well, I am stupid, no, um, i just didn't shift up Figured we were going to the step to climb. It didn't matter when I got there so why risk hitting the corner of the stairs? BUt I will break out second gear some more if anyone wishes to see it. We ran our auton in second and I occasionaly jumped up when making the drive for a distance. Plus, balls +any other gear than 1st = bad, most of the time. We don't run up on them a lot with our lexan teeth but they get bent. So I avaoid higher gears and balls. BAD!!. Anyway, don't worry out there in Philly 11, I will show some more of our machine's capabilities. Annapolis was just a warm up . As Cliff has said. We've got some stuff up our sleeves...
