Re: Week 1 lessons learned: balancing strategy

How not to balance:
  1. Balance one robot with about 40 seconds to go
  2. Decide that a second robot will get on the bridge
  3. Unbalance the bridge for the second robot to drive up
  4. Dither around for 30 seconds trying to get the second robot on the bridge, nearly tipping both robots over
  5. Fail to get the bridge balanced
  6. Lose the match 3-0
