Re: Terrifying Karthik

Karthik is clearly thinking with his MC hat on. He's terrified that with so many low bots, he's bound to trip over one as he moves from the Red side of the field to the Blue.

Wait...what?

Re: Terrifying Karthik

You're forgetting that Karthik was born in Ohio. You know, the state that's round on the ends and hi in the middle? Which is great for defeating the Portcullis, but not very helpful with the low bar.

The part that terrifies me is the combination of the perceived narrow positions around the batter and the low height of robots. If teams build an army of narrow, short robots, we'll see lots of tortugaing, but not on the Outerworks.
Hopefully teams will remember the lessons of 2010 and not get stuffed in the low goals.

Re: Terrifying Karthik

Where did the term "Tortuga" come from (in this context)?
