Thanks for re-affirming a stance I held from the beginning. Offensive dumpers will get far in qualifiers, but once elims start, it's all about defense. Simple dumpers won't get far in the elims against great driving robots that don't stop moving. We went with the targeting turret and traction control for this reason.

This 1114 Panther bot will dominate the elims.
