Hanging, I would want to make sure they make it every time.

Honestly, I don't expect teams to be particularly inconsistent with the defenses they are intending to cross. Either they will cross or they won't. But now that I say that, the opposite will probably happen.
Five times is great. But most events have 7-10 rounds. Did your team accomplish this task 5 times out of 7, or 10? Did they do this within traffic, or did this do this with impunity?

Consistency is great - but your scouting better be ready to address the other issues involved or the better scouting from another alliance may beat you.
