This point will define how you think the game will be played. this year the high peg is higher than it was in 2007. I think ubers on the high peg will be very hard to get.

A wise coach once told me during our rookie year (2007): if there was ever a game like 2007 again, the key to winning would be a simple scoring mechanism and going for the highest bonus. That is what I am pushing my team towards this year.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
