Re: What we learned from week 1
Autonomous is critical. Its also fun to watch the barrage of discs going into the same goal - no need to coordinate timing to avoid mid-air collisions like last year!
Shooting from the pyramid seems a more robust strategy than from the feeder zone. You have options for feeding (floor, feeder stations at either corner) and shooting (left, right, center) and mobility (multiple paths to and from - harder to defend). Defense can slow you down, but can't shut you down. Full court shooting has only one place to go for shooting, takes time to set up, and can be blocked.
10 point hang is good.
I fear that all the time and effort we put into a climber may have been for naught. Even if it works, it takes a lot of time and adds a lot of risk for a modest net gain.
