[Hitchhiker 42]

I totally agree with everything up top. One thing to stress... use the question box for missed crosses. We got the score changed (it was initially 42-47, us losing), but we managed to have them count 2 missed crossing, ending 50-47. That was good.

About defenses. Most defenses are sturdy. At Waterbury, some problems arose with a bent rough terrain, which put the field on hold for ~20 minutes, and a broken sally port (on the side supports).

Most importantly, bring tools, and be able to fix most things on your robot. After every match, our team was bending something back into place and tightening bolts and collars. That's important.

Waterbury was great today, looking forward to tomorrow!
