Go to Post GP is a measurement that can only apply to yourself. To apply it to another is unfair to that person/group. - Andrew Schreiber [more]

well, at about 4 f/s, I can see that being a valid complaint...but I also think that the speed that we sacrified for torque was well worth it. We've never had an instance in which our speed was enough of an issue to overshadow our goal-manipulation abilities. I think that we would have been a great choice for either the 201/303/ ??? alliance of powerful goal grabbers or the 111/16 alliance of excellent ball manipulators (we could provide the two goals for them to dump in on a consistent basis.)
I just think that the merits of FIRESTORM 4 went largely unnoticed, probably due to problems with our politicking. Though we didn't qualify absolute top (though in the top 16), we did win consistently (though not alliance captains, we were never taken out of an elimination match in NJ. We swept eliminations there), and thats what matters in elims.

Thanks for the info Matt.
