The third thing that stood out to me at FLR was the huge spread in driver skills. Many teams seemed to be just learning how to drive their robots. Driving into the tower bases while picking up a tube or knocking down another tube while placing one are just not good signs. The few teams that had their driving skills down to a science did really well.
