biggest threat in atlanta

[EmoMike]

Team 84 is running an infinity drive train which gives us all the power, torque, and speed that we could ever dream of. We went 2-1 or 3-1 in Philly and are hoping to continue all our pushing down in ATLANTA!!!

501 is fast at 12fps in high gear... but in low we push any robot sideways. we are a very good scoring bot but we have played defense

[seraphim33]

this is the detroit regional where we personally took out the thunder chickens
nationals wont be a problem

I believe we scored 5 ringers against you folks with no scorer on any of the other teams and won the match 2^5=32 to 0.
Remember???

ahh woot. 696!

We'll see how that goes at nationals

My Top 5 (Not in Any order):
316
25
1126
191
330

But I haven't seen every bot in action so I'm not sure.

If 254 added bumpers (among other things), then I think I'd cry (tears of joy).

I would sure hope they would, cause they wouldn't want their lexan cracked again by your's truly.

But, even without bumpers these guys are awesome.

P.S. 272 are a pretty awesome team, as are 79, 1902, 997, 330.

At LA and San diego, both 254 and 968 we very difficult to defend. Getting between them and the rack isn't that effective because they can easily swoop to a few legs over and score before you're halfway there (and we're not a slow robot. 10fps w/ a small CIM, a big CIM, and a FP).

That's a BIG negative!

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. With the proper alliance, 254 is just too good. We had the arguable pleasure playing defense against them in the semis at Las Vegas. The first match we stuck with them for the whole match, and while we limited them to two tubes, our alliance couldn't score enough playing 2v2 to win the match. The second match we didn't keep a bot with them at all times, and they put of 5 or 6 tubes on us. They have a true beast of a machine, and it'll be a force in Atlanta. I'd really not be surprised at all if they make it to Einstein.

And they were one of the couple of robots at the two regional that we won in that we couldn't push around. We won a head-on push against TWO robots in the final match for god’s sake!!!
