Thanks for the kind, honest words. For UNH our goal was to do two 5 stacks with RCs/noodles all in one which seemed to work well in our shop but for a few programming issue that made our stacking rougher the RC kept falling off either while indexing tote #4 or during delivery so we went back to the split stack strategy.

For Sunday we had a new RC strategy of spitting the RC out halfway and then slowly lowering our elevator to place for a smoother delivery but only got to try it in one match and got two of the three placements down the first miss was with the RC handle down.

Lots to practice moving forward. Overall I'm really impressed with our driver, operator, and human player for stepping up and performing so well with less than an hour of practice in our shop plus their time at Reading.

Good honest analysis here!
