Re: Triple Balance Video

First of all great job balancing. I would not have predicted much success on the Triple Balance task given these three robots but you did a great job making it happen.

The second thing that I noticed is that in the last match the blue alliance only had to successfully complete a Double Balance to advance to the next round... but once they saw the Triple Balance by red, they seem to totally panic and when you panic on the bridge, usually a robot ends up flipping off the side of the bridge (ask 148 -- they seemed to totally lose it in their last match at the Alamo).

Message to my drivers: Don't Panic!
