Re: What we learned from week 1

We identified early in the build season that a 30 point climb + 20 point dump was a viable strategy if and only if it could be done with sufficient alacrity, because the potential for scoring frisbees is so darn high this year. Yes, a lot of teams fail at basic functionality every year, but not enough of them to make climb+dump-only a viable game winner in the long term.

We failed in a rather epic manner to pull off a fast 30 point climb, which translated into an inconsistent and too-hard-to-line-up 10 point climb at FLR, but this problem will be fixed at Buckeye.
