btw the american victory felt a little cheap lol. Japan won the first round, the second round tied (despite a massive US advantage) and US won the 3rd round--and then everyone acted like the US had a massive victory. didn't they like... tie? idk, felt like japan was a lot better in every way except for the fact that it was a lot smaller and lighter than the US robots. felt like they shouldve had a weight bracket since the US robot was taller and like 4x heavier than the japanese robot. |
