It happened week 1, and really opened our eyes as to how to get the most out of your alliance's potential.

It's a skill that a lot of teams still under-appreciate, but will factor heavily in qualifications.
That match was "interesting" to say the least. I was hoping no one would ever have to see a match like that. We looked pretty brutal that early on (wrong high gear ratio, wrong wheels on one side of the robot, no driver practice, etc.). Needless to say, we play a lot better now. I believe that was the first time we ever tried to tip the bridge the other way. All I remember is that neither partner could tip the bridge during that match.

The good news is, I think our strategies usually get the most out of the alliance. It took us a while to talk our partners into that one.
