If there is no bigger indictment of the fallacy of relying on OPR for scouting there it is.

It was kind of hilarious to see us be ranked higher than the #4 seed (another team I mentor(ed)).
We're currently in the works of building a ramp with a gate, to possess balls. 5288 (1114's partner) did not have an intake just an outtake(?), and while an intake would be awesome-r, we don't have the time to do make one. We've still got bumpers to re-make. Our plan is to be able to catch from the human player and just release the ball immediately and go back on defense.
After we talked about our plans post-regional, adding weight came up, but we decided against it as it may impair our driving. Our biggest advantage and the reason we played defense pretty well was being able to zip around the field and not exactly push robots, but just being everywhere. We'd like to keep that ability, and not give the driver a completely different robot. Plus with our "ramp-gate" we're probably looking to add 20 lbs there itself.
Definitely interested in hearing others' thoughts.
And to add to the match conversations...we're gonna have fun. Going up against, 254, 11, 125, 469/180 and other tough teams. My only words - look out for the orange
