Then later someone told me that they had NOT been shooting full court all weekend...which is the correct answer? I totally missed their MO, or that their FCS was brand new?

Brand new? No. I wasn't at the event and certainly did not watch every match that 217 played in, but I didn't see 217 using their full court shooting ability in the two or three qualification matches of theirs I saw on Newton. However, they had used it at all of their previous events, including as a key component of their winning strategy at Michigan State Championship (where they essentially played the same role they were playing for the #1 alliance on Newton). I assume their internal assessment was that they could score more points as a cycling robot than as a full court shooter, and opted to pursue that strategy during the qualification on Newton.
