Lets just say, I am working on a suprise for the 2005 offseason...keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks. Did you know, the summer of 2005 would be 10 years since Rumble at the Rock was first created? Kinda makes you think...doesn't it? -Andy Grady |

Here's another set of definitions for you to chew on: Offense (Midwest Version) - When a robot uses cleverly, beautifully, and specifically, designed assemblies to score lots of points for their alliance, resulting in victory. Offense (Northeast Version) - Repeatedly bash, ram, or block the opponent in the hopes that they get confused and score for your alliance. Quote:

Be careful what you wish for. I have often been tempted to make a killer defensive robot to fit the name "wildstang". When I get fed up with complex mechanisms, we may do that. The problem is that it is no fun to sit in the pits and have every other team mad at you because you completely took away their ability to compete. And then they would all complain that it is a battlebot not a FIRST robot. You see, it is more fun to design and drive a robot that can perform several delicate functions, rather than just go after other robots to stop them. A "box on wheels" as my good friend Mike Bastoni use to call them, can do that. Lots of creativity there huh? |

You see, the best offense IS a defense. Lets go back to 1995 for a minute and review a defensive masterpiece which was called "The Big Bopper". In the finals, against Raychem and Woodside High School, the Gael Force robot would drive up the side of the ramp, barrel into Woodside or any other robot sitting on top of the hill, then when they were down and out..score juuuust enough to get by. This ultimately resulted in more exciting matches! In the northeast, we like to keep things close and exciting....no 300 point blowouts like you guys in the midwest try to accomplish each year, putting the collective audience to sleep. With FIRST, its all about style! In the northeast, we are alllll style. As for Raul...didn't you guys build one of those defensive robots last year? Wildstang the wedge? See, defense does win championships my friend...I dont deny that you midwesterners are catching on...it just took ya a while Of course you need to understand...when Team Hammond won its 4th championship this year, they woke up the sleeping giant that is the Northeast. Next year when things get a little rough on you midwesterners...make sure you give your thanks to the Beatty's for giving us something to shoot for -Andy Grady P.S. For those just tuning in, just a reminder that this is a fun thread...my comments and the comments of others are not meant to put down or belittle any team in a serious manner...in other words...don't take anything I have to say seriously ![]() |

Re: The Regional Wars
Revolt..no sir, we are just trying to find a way to make sure no non-Indiana team has a chance. Just wait, eventually the championship will be in Indianapolis so all the teams can drive home every night instead of staying at a hotel.

Re: The Regional Wars
Ok, I love Michigan, and Illinois is ok, but they have to be nice.
But really, We don't have mountains to climb or fun roads to drive on. The most elevation change we have is the bridges over interstates!!!! Maybe thats why our robots are better, nothing else to do!!!! |
