Thanks for the mention. Since we score with the tube completely horizontal, we have an easier time dealing with defense because we can score with essentially any angled approach to the rack, where as teams that score vertically have to be directly in front of the rack to place a ringer. Even with that said, I am slightly disappointed at how defense heavy this game is turning out. Of the few matches that our arm has been out of commission and we were forced to play defense, I don't think I've ever let an opponent score a ringer. This could just be because of the quality of the scorer bot, but it still bugs me how easy it is to keep the rack empty

Anyways, I am very very impressed with 1114's robot this year. The design is extremely unique and effective, and they put ringers on like mad, even with heavy defense on them. I was amazed while watching TBA archives of Waterloo at how many ringers they managed to put on both the middle and bottom levels, and they would still come back to deploy their ramp. Can they score on the top level though? I see the four bar being used for the middle, bottom as well as ground, but do they have a way of reaching the top? I never saw them attempt to in the matches I saw of them. Also, their autonomous, very consistent. Great job 1114!
