Re: Week 2: Any new lessons learned?
A minibot can help you win many qualification matches, as long as it can be deployed reliably and consistently. Tubes play somewhat of a lesser role here, but they can help when minibots fail to deploy, or to break close scores.

In elimination matches, most alliances will have reliable minibots, so actual minibot speed and tube placing are important. Even a bottom-row logo or incomplete middle row may be just enough to win a close match.
