What I really don't get is teams clearing off missed auto balls. Is it really that hard to push a ball into the low goal? You don't even have to collect it, it can just be pushed!

Teams need to play in zones. There are so many times when I see two robots on the same alliance go after the ball. What should be happening (at least what I feel like) is that there should be one robot in each zone. Then when you don't have a ball you are playing zone defense.

By the way are we really going to ignore the fact that 148 and 624 got a the ball hot goal auto their first time up? I watched it on a webcast and it was the most intense action all day because of how close they were to missing/making it.

And how about those mecanum drives? Has any team really found it that much better? The ones that are going well are the drives with omni wheels. They are able to just spin out of there. Also I'm pretty sure most traction drives could push mecanum drives.

One last not. The less time that you have, the better. It means you are picking up the ball quick and racking up those assits. I saw several times were a team took a while to collect the ball, even more time ti get the ball stable on their robot just to miss a high goal.
