Re: GTRW - After-thoughts and thank-you's

GTRW was the most fun our team has had at a regional in a very long time.
It was great to see 1310 and 610 get their much deserved win.

Here are my 3:

Adapt: Adapting your robot and strategies to the competition was important to stay competitive. If something consistently doesn't work don't keep doing it.

Durability: An issue with our functions left us playing more aggressively than we had planned and it took a lot of work to keep our robot together between matches. We found that even aesthetic pieces have to be secured properly or they risk becoming field debris.

Rules: Make sure every part of your drive team knows and understands the rules. With the heavy weighting of fouls this year your drive team is only as strong as its weakest link.


Crescent did a great job at hosting GTRW. The amount of work that goes into setting up an event like that baffles me.
