P.J.

You are absolutely right. A way for an "on-ramp balancer" alliance to get 70 base points is to get all 20 HP balls into the goals. We can do that, as long as we don't have to wait on anyone crossing over the bridge. That is the important thing. This means that two or three of the other three teams gotta limbo, like 177's design.

A design like yours is a GREAT partner for us... perfect, in fact. There are a few other designs that can limbo and place a big ball (47, 56, 60, 67, 85, 301, 469, along with others that I'm not sure of).

Also, there is a secong plan that could score a 700, and it would involved a stretcher, and it is even less likely. We will be practicing multiple stretcher pulls today before we ship, that's for sure.
