baetty isnt unbeatable

[Bduggan04]

At the Great Lakes Regional, Beatty wasn't unbeatable. We were the first to turn them, but we were surprised at how many did it after we showed everyone their weakness. However, when we rammed them with the goal and dragged them around we did screw up their grabbers and that may have affected the outcome. It will be interesting to see how they will change their robot for Nationals and it will also be interesting to see what is considered acceptable carpet damage there. The rules state that buckling the carpet is damage to it, and when Beatty gets turned the carpet puckers up two or three inches.
