As a mentor, I have been monitoring this thread to see if people are acting in a professional manner. I would like to congratulate robodude on his professionalism and sound character. I would also like to thank him on recognizing the defensive manner of our bot. We had a simple plan...avoid being scored upon too often and give our human player a good shot with a super cell. We looked at the competition as a +/- situation like in hockey. Thanks again for a great regional.

Thank you for the comment. Your team definitely executed the plan well as could be seen in the picture. I couldn't even see whether we were tipped back as is shown in the picture. All I knew is that we were pinned and that our only hope was to wiggle our way out of there. Although we saw the supercell come out into play we made sure we kept moving throughout the match and scoring whenever possible. Those were some great matches and you forced us to change our strategy. We couldn't catch your bot to make a decent score so we decided to send our defensive bot after you and go after 1160 in the next match.
