540,540,540,540, im i going nuts? Four rounds with a perfect score in the Michagan regional, that is insane. As far as i know there was only 4 perfect rounds in all of the regionals played before. I guess you guys were right when you said the best are going to michagan. One more thing, great job to Delphi with keeping us up to date with the regional. You guys rule.
Good Luck to all

Wow. First off, I’m impressed. 540 is not an easy thing to reach. I was wondering how these scores were achieved though. Did the teams get lucky, play with amazing strategy, or what? Was there no defense? Was the opponent a big fat paperweight? What happened during these matches?
More info would be nice. We’re all scratching our heads over here…

Beatty/Team Hammond
Baxter/Mountain Home
Motorola/Wildstang
All three of these teams are 540 scores waiting to happen!
They ask so little of their partners (get on that puck and once in a while, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you give a little help pushing the puck). If they get the help and are not playing two strong teams, they get their good scores.
Hats off to each of these 3 awesome teams.

Well, I am member of one of the teams that scored 540, twice. We did
this with effective execution and great drivers and shooters. Not to
mention the support that the drivers and shooter got from the entire
team and crowd. We did not get these high scores by luck or playing
against lesser teams like you make it sound. It all comes from the
engineers and students working together in a great partnership to
develop a robot that is capable of achieving perfect matches.
