Hills East got 8th in regionals last year, but after a thorough overhaul took 4th in states again. This year we were 2nd on our region, as we had been two years ago. So, a third Fourth? I dunno. We have a couple of tricks up our sleeve, but we may be pretty close to maxing out the potential of the Vex platform for this event.

heyhey what about Benjamin N. Cardozo?

What did U.E. do last year? I remember they stomped everybody the first year with that black pyramid.

They were in my block in 2008. They had a black metal wedge bot that seemed to be malfunctioning (it wasn't moving very smoothly) and kind of dented/twisted (at the front), but seemed otherwise well-engineered. Maybe damaged during transportation?

I beat them once by pushing, and a second time when we both got stuck in a corner and my bot was 200 grams lighter (I think).

What are your guys' weights?

I weigh about 175, without clothes and shoes.

I do believe she meant of the Sumobots

Dang, 200 grams is comparatively very little. haha.

i wished more of the matches could be found online.

btw. i am working on uploading our videos from Regionals. Should have them up in the coming week.

You think?

If you know our weight, then you know whether or not you win in a draw. Strategery, you see.

What place was Stuy last year?
