1. Top row is king. It takes just as much effort to score on the top as it does on the middle row.

2. Know your opponent and pick you strategy wisely. For example at suffield a team would score an ubertube on the middle row during auto. That alliances' default move from there was to complete a logo on that middle row. In the mean time the opposing alliance was completing a logo on the top row. The team that scores on the top won every time, of at least what i remember.

3. There will be a lot more scoring in auto than in past years. There were several teams at the scrimmage that were scoring, or almost scoring (125 included, 3 times we placed the tube over the peg, but didn't release). I think the combination of previous experience with tubes (2007) and the fact that the pegs are fixed will make for more auto scoring that most people are used to.

4. Mini bots are game changers.

5. The field seems smaller than i expected. Lots of robots and tubes in the middle make for tons of congestion.

6 Extremely difficult to see/align tubes from across the field.
