Fans for defense

First let me say congrats on the win and building a great robot.

Second I feel I have to mention that I believe you were able to push us that way simply because our driver did not know how to maneuver out of it. Maneuvering out of it would have been possible and he was a rookie driver. The fans had nothing to do with it. Had you tried that again you would not have been as successfull.

and Third if you guys keep posting your different strategies on here people our gonna know what to expect. I would be cool to see a team from the South even if you are on the "wrong side of the border" win it all but that will be more difficult if you don't keep some stratgy up your sleeve. Good luck
