Re: Massive Hit

In MAR, we seem to take a lot of hard hits, much harder than we experienced at Worlds, for sure. When I removed our bumpers after Bridgewater, we had dented diamond plate on the front of our robot. CRAZY. MAR is so aggressive and defensive, where Worlds was about scoring, scoring, scoring...In MAR sometimes I think people enjoy just smashing into each other at full speed, where at Worlds, they were avoiding each other so they could rush to the end of the field and score.
