I have to say, that both 114 and ourselves underestimated the power of ramps. We thought that an alliance of two powerful tube-scorers would make for an easy victory.

However 60 points is hard to beat when you're constantly being battered by defensive lifters (like 488)

Yeah, definitely need to improve your scouting system. I remember Andrew standing there with a pile of papers with random scouting data, where as I had a nice half sheet of paper with two columns for ramp and scoring bots.

I've been watching matches off of TBA (which rocks by the way!) and I've noticed a couple methods that hardcore scoring alliances have pulled through victories versus ramp bot alliance that we did not do at SVR. One hint: Aim High

Can't wait for Davis, its gonna rock. My personal goal is to average over 4 ringers scored per match throughout the weekend, and maybe even get a keeper or two on

See you all in a week and a half!
