Re: Week 3 analysis

The things that our team (3701, Royal Robotics) learned from the NC regional is...

- Make sure to have someone on your alliance who can help get robots off of you. We had multiple matchs were two robots would be on us because we had the ball and couldn't move.

- One point goals are just as valuable as the 10 point goal

- Make sure coaches dont touch anything. We had one match, and one of our alliance members human player was MIA and the coach started to grab the ball before the match and I told him coaches aren't aloud to touch game pieces, but he did anyway and we were fouled.

- This was my first year programming. I started three days before bag and tag, and I wasn't sure how to make a mecanum drive in LabView, so I used the arcade drive in the program and it over loaded and maxed out the CPU in the cRio in the last match, we had two teams come by and talk about alliances and because our program was messed up we weren't picked. So make sure you dont have any extra things not need in your program!!
