    \\n
    • We won’t be talking about every single fight\\n
      \\n
      • We feel our strength is talking about robots, not talking about fights
      \\n
      • We would rather focus only on the best fights than talk unenthusiastically about the less interesting ones
      \\n
      • We will make sure we talk about every robot over the course of the season - most of them multiple times.

      • It’s not as simple as ‘who do you think won’ - there are points being given out.\\n
        \\n
        • If you don’t like the result, your issue is with the rules and not the judges.
        \\n
        • Does the show make this clear enough?

        \\n

          • Sam: TT 1-1 BD
          \\n
          • Ryan: TT 2-0 BD - but 1-1 feels very valid

        \\n
        \\n
      \\n
      • Their wins (pre-Vegas) were largely unimpressive, but their losses were all really tough fights

    \\n
    • TL:DL - we are visionaries, and any team who wants to avoid this kind of issue should invite us to join them next season
    \\n
    • We really made this bit confusing: During the build of Hello There! we tried to test the robot with a drive setup very similar to what Lucky used for this fight. It was horrible. Don’t do it.\\n
