Re: Why the privacy in this years game?

For us, the issue is much more simple - we're all working so hard on the robot that nobody has had time to make any video or announcement yet.

On the topic of how some teams end up doing better than others, I'd like to add my own view:
* Even a great robot won't do well if the driver doesn't know what to do or where to go - drive team practice and knowing how the game is likely to flow can double the quality of your robot; and
* Scouting is as important as anything else the team does - teams that know how to best support their alliance partners and what the strengths are of their partners are will do better each round than those that either plan to do the same thing every time or just fly around hoping they figure out what to do when the time comes.

Of course, I could be wrong.
