Re: pic: 230 pt. celebration

John,

Let me ask you this: did 494 completely shut down 45? No. And that was when they were only worrying about one robot. Chances are that 494 (or the defensive robot of your choice) will only slow down one of the offensive robots. If you don't like the 33 & 45 matching, how about 45 & 60? 60 and 45 doing all offense while 494 is trying to stop them. When 494 goes to hang so does 60, leaving 45 to cap. If 494 does the defense thing on the stationary, then 60 will defense the defense leaving 45 to cap.

The bottom line is that 494 had to stop 45 from capping, because they could not stop them from getting enough small balls (11 - 13). Add another robot that concentrates, let's say, on the movable goal and caps it. The defensive robot doesn't have a prayer. I am not saying defense doesn't play a part, but 2 robots that PRIMARILY play offense (2 fingers) will beat the finger and the thumb.

Back to the point: Our bet was that a POLE DOMINATOR paired with an offense oriented robot would win. That did not happen. The fact that a defensive robot on the floor is now called a thumb is beyond the scope of the original definition.

However, given this new definition I still say 2 fingers will beat a finger and the "new" thumb.
