Yes-- 3018 is looking at options for insuring our robot can remain in top form through so many rounds of 'battle'. We're unsure yet why the robot's shot was underpowered for the final 2 shots of the double decker. My money is on a weak battery or twisted 'halo' (the hoop at the bottom that carries the ball).
The last shot we took looked like it came of veering left which gives credence to the bent halo idea. But I'm just a programming mentor-- the build kids I'm sure will be able to determine what really happened.
Match would have been much closer had we made that 2nd shot the first time and had been able to start another cycle, but it could have still been either alliance's game.
This game is awfully fun to watch (and to play per our drive team), but it is violent and very hard on robots. Hopefully we can make some modifications to account for the game before Milwaukee.
