Way to have faith in your own robot ...........

I actually disagree that longs will not have a chance as the top seeds and it will be more even for the top 8 then 2/8. I believe that many teams who have never worked together will spend too much time trying to triple in qualifications and will miss out on valuable points and/or fail at their attempt.

While I would like to see as many triples as possible in qualifications (including seeing my own team do it), I do not think that we will see a triple all that often where teams were able to start and balance in the last 30 seconds in qualifications (to where I would categorize the 20 points being worthwhile). Though I wonder how busy the practice field will be this year........
