Re: Rethinking the Low bar
Confirmed - we'd still be low-bar capable. The low bar was definitely the easiest defense to breach. The mistakes that held us down at Bayou were mechanical implementation, not strategic decisions. No more #25 chain, at least not for dead-axle drive wheels. We achieved our highest regional seeding yet (#18 of 56), and were the highest seeded 5-5 team due to several breaching RP and a capture RP (we scored a few boulders and carried more into the courtyard). Our post season mods will focus on the drive train and tweaking the pickup and launcher.

No way - I think we made all the right to-level choices. Things really came together tonight - we're driving and (manually) aiming with a camera now, and We have the driving (low bar, B, or D) if not aiming and shooting parts of auto working. We can make high goals more than half the time, with a fairly high arch, and low goals more consistently. The only real concern about making a solid run at the banner is the beating that the robots (and field) are taking this year, and building a tall robot would only have made those worse.
I'll try to remember to post a follow-up on Sunday.
