I can't help looking at the new center piece my wife put on the dinning room table and think to myself, "non-functional decoration" - DarrinMunter [more]

Re: Did Lunacy really level the playing field?

I just want to add for '09, that drivetrains didnt make the difference, but man, the orientation sure did.
Wide bots were much easier to drive (turn and maneuver) than the long ones.
What made it worst for teams like us, is not being able to harvest from the ground, not with respect to loading up and scoring more, BUT with respect to being able to "hug" a trailer while scoring when your opponent is trying to get away.
