i will jump in on this one also. i volunteered at the Duluth events fri and sat.
1. the portcullis opens very easy
2. had a few problems with the sally port zip ties braking and broke a few draw bridges
3. i didn't see anyone open the sally port or drawbridge from the neutral zone
4. i didn't see any captures tell quarter finales
5. one breaching bot and two shooting bots seems like a winning alliance
6. most qualifier rounds 100pt or less
7. as mentioned in another post "hard core auto" teams are crashing hard into drivers stations, at least once knocking a computer off to the ground.
8. coordinating with alliance members is very important.

this event was run very well and was ahead of schedule many times

any other questions feel free to ask
