Of the 18 district events, some were pretty effective.
Now I will state that at several events can burglars brought cans over that did not end up being utilized.

Cans from the middle were completely unnecessary at events where the two best robots together could only make 3 stacks.
There were both regionals and districts where this was the case. This might seem crazy now, but in Week 1, if your robot could consistently make one stack, you were very good. Many people don't remember that because 148, 987, and 624 competed week 1, but Dallas wasn't the only event that week.
