Go team 173, 467, 28!! Great job. I hate that battlebot, they took all four of aour whels off the ground twice in one match. They should have been DQ'd.

On the contrary. good ball bots are the best. We can get 20 balls in the goal, and always have control of the goal. No robot there could push us. 20 balls and the goal in our zone counteracts the other teams 2 goals and a robot in the endzone. I think the best pairing would be a robot like 230 that always got 2 goals and NOBODY moved them, witha ball machine like us or 224. 224 can't let go of the goal once they're on it. Thats a huge downfall.
