Here is a link to the KSC robot pictures... Lot of rookies at KSC. This may explain the small amount of limbo-bots and good ball handlers.

Hope you got to see the regional on TV. It should provide an advantage for your first regional. We learned a lot!

-not all teams know the rules
-game is a two robot game with four robots on the field
-some teams have 3 human players with no coaches
-you only need two human players
-much harder to balance two goals (one full, one empty)
-much harder to get 4 teams to agree on a strategy than 2.
-all it takes is one robot to get stuck on the ramp and you get a low score
-stretcher is a sucker bet!!! don't take it!

Good luck to all!
