Re: Lessons learned for Week 2 Regionals?
Some of these mini bots should not have scored. Just because they hit the top does not mean they win. The rules state it should be able to push the plate not just hit it. Some of these fast little mini bots did not have enough power to push the plate up. That is a design flaw; they should not have gotten the points for it.

When a bigger mini bot hit the top the lights did go off.
