The Cheesy Poofs (Team 254) also plan to be ballancing both goals, however we are willing to adapt to the needs of our alliance.

We can consistantly grab and fill the near goal, reset the bridge for ourselves, grab the far goal and ballance, all in under 1:00. We can also pick up and add a large ball in under 1:30 if we need to.

While this stratagy has proven successful in the past (two regionals/two #1 seeds with averages of 258 and 298 in the quallifying rounds) we also have no problem becoming an arm team if one of our partners is confident in there ability to ballance the bridge. In which case we shown both speed and consistancy loading the large balls.

However, we also realize that there are teams out there who have been quite successful ballancing from off the bridge. In wich case we have the ability to fill the near goal with small balls and drop it on the far side of the bridge for our ally to ballance in about 30 seconds.

Finaly, I have to agree with Andy on the subject of ballancing one goal. If you see us atempting to ballance a single goal something definatly went wrong durring the match.
