Second, decide who will adjust to create balance. One strategy is to have the robot on the side highest in the air adjust. What you don't want is 2 (or 3 in the case of a triple balance) adjusting at the same time. As the season continues balancing will improve. Our elimination alliance at Waterford has the distinction of being the only alliance to pull off a triple balance and still lose the match. I predict that "double triples" will be common by the Championship.
This is a perfect. It's our exact focus this weekend, first figure out which team best first the Co-op balance with us and make sure we stick to it. For with-in alliance balances, a lot of it is good communication between driving coaches.
