Thanks for the videos. Yes, that last match was close. It was a great strategy and you almost pulled it off. Fortunately, we had our best match of eliminations and put up a 5(capped) and 6 stack. With 33's 20 point auton and 3 capped 6 stacks from the landfill, we were able to overcome the lack of a 5th can.
We had the same thing happen to us in the 3rd match of finals on Tesla. Even though we got 3 out of 4 cans off the step, we lost because the other alliance had a 20 point auton and put up more stacks.
I want to thank 27 and 33 for having the faith in picking us even though we did not perform well during qualifications. As a team, we did not meet over the summer and were trying out various rookie drivers, none of which had any match experience. Also, our first 2 qualification matches were impacted by a slipping encoder on our elevator. We did start to perform better later in qualifications which was noticed by 27 and 33. Since 27 had the ability to cap up to a 6 stack, we were able to concentrate only building tote stacks which greatly simplified things for us.
