As a result, anyone who intends to play the elims at States had better be working on a way to nullify that advantage. That's tougher than it sounds, because as you saw (if you were watching) at Troy, they seem to have improved maneuvering issues and now look to be a dangerous robot even without the redirection system. Kudos to them.
Locking 469 out of a top seed is still a good idea, as it forces them to join the number one alliance. Ideally, this alliance includes you or an unideal partner, such as 51 or 2337.
