Re: Week 1 lessons learned: balancing strategy
I was the driving mentor/instructor for 174 this year, and I can say we have practiced the art of balancing every chance we could. Mastering such a thing is always difficult for anyone as a slight movement alters everything. But the number one thing we discussed was allowing time to score on the bridge and being ready for a team that makes a last second mad dash. If we get on the bridge with 30 seconds, or even a whole minute left on the clock, as long as it will end up with +10, +20 or +40 to our score (or +2 qualifying points) it will be worth it.
