Lessons learned in all weeks.
What have you learned in the past 3 weeks either from competing or watching competitions that could be useful for other teams to know?
Here's a few that I have.
Human players, throwing might be faster but you don't want to feed the other alliance by throwing weakly. Also, watch out for robots scoring on the pegs. I've seen lots of tubes hit a robot as it is scoring and the robot just picks the tube up and scores again.
Robots, if you can't pick up off the floor you are going to be left behind. It's faster to pick up off the ground and I've seen lots of cases where a tube is stuck in the lane and the robot can't reach the feeder station.
Programmers, autonomus is important! If you complete a logo with an uber tube it is worth 30 points (on top row)
Drivers, make sure the logo is in the right order! I've seen a few backward logos wich gain no advantage.
These are my thoughts. Post yours here!
