If you are comfortable in the lead you can take less risks and avoid penalties. I believe our alliance didn't get a signal foul throughout eliminations.

edit- For those wanting to watch the penalties in SF1-2 you can see it here http://www.watchfirstnow.com/archives/88533519 (possession call around 1:30, pin call slightly after)
Please take the above comments as general commentary on the game, and that you can be penalized without intention or benefiting from the penalized act. SF1-1 strategically was a perfectly executed match and you earned the blue banner fairly. Your alliance had the right robots, planning and good fortune to win it all. How many second year teams have captained a winning alliance from the 5th spot?!

SF1-1
