Most alliances in eliminations at World Champs were using 50 point cycling strategies with only minor variations (pass back to the inbounder vs. kiss pass, etc.) The 2485/1918/51 alliance did something a little bit different with the static finisher (something our alliance discussed doing with 469, as well), and several alliances incorporated autonomous goalies, but that about covers it.

I think that the hardest thinking that we ever did regarding strategy was in qualification matches. How do we get several 3-assist cycles with our robot, alliance partner A, and alliance partner B? That is the question that frequently kept me up at night.

My opinions on the game haven't changed, although there were some exciting matches before champs nothing really exciting happened until late elims. There should be some excitement before the end, not just boredom.

I will keep my reply simple: The game was awesome.

The students had fun. The mentors had fun.

The students learned. The mentors learned.

We all made new friends.

The game was a success.
