Oh, you must be talking about the days when all the teams in FIRST were from the Northeast (*) because that's the only time they dominated. Who's living in the past now Grady? Lets talk about the present. The Midwest has passed you years ago and we're still waiting for the long promised come-back.

* Disclaimer - of course there were some non-Northeast teams back then, but not many

We are just waiting for you guys to catch up and start playing our game before we totally blow you out of the water. Everyone knows that defense wins championships, and we invented defense in the northeast! Don't get me wrong, you guys are definately starting to catch on (i.e. Martians). But it took you long enough...

Definitions:

Defense (Northeast Version) - When a robot uses full force to bash, ram, or block a team from scoring points, resulting in victory.

Defense (Midwest Version) - Tip over, accidentally get in the way of opponent.

Its ok Mike...I mean look at football teams like the Colts...great offense, alot of fun to watch. Eventually though, they were overun by the stronger, more experienced, defensive masterminds, the New England Patriots. Another case where the Northeast dominates.
