During quarterfinals we all went on offense to see which alliance can put up more points. The scores of the matches weren't differed by a very huge amount. In semi's we went against 103's alliance where they have scored over 100 points during quarterfinals. We simply didn't want to take the risk of going pure offense and not be able to put up enough points. After further discussion with the all drive teams, instead of going offense, we tucked our claw and arm in and went to the other side of the field and got in 103 and 86's way; pushing the tubes into our lane dividers and blocking them from coming towards the tower; we didn't attempt to push them, we just got in the way as well as try to create room for 179 and 233 to give them access to as many tubes possible. It seemed to work out very well. I had to put enough trust in my driver to make sure that he will not break any planes and get us a penalty. Our driver did his job very well.
Very excellent point! I noticed the change in strategy immediately, and I had a feeling we could not keep up. You did play some amazing defense, and getting in our way was just enough to slow us down that little bit.


Btw
Excellent job guys! I am really glad you won the regional. After seeing all of the hard work getting the robot working, it was great to see you compete, and compete very well! Best of luck for the rest of the year!
