Yeah 1676 Pascack Pioneers's defense was incredible, and especially in our second quarterfinal match with team 11 that they were able to completely shut down team 11 from scoring. most shooters at Mount Olive were either batter shooters (like team 1403) or shot in the courtyard(Team 41, 3142), which meant that 1676's defense was incredible in stopping high goal shots.
Also we saw that Stronghold is rough. It has already been said before, but it is. look at most of our elims matches and some robot shut down almost every match (excluding the finals). whether it was 1403 in the semis, or 11 and 3142 in the quarterfinals, Someone went down. Our bumpers by the finals were wrecked. we have to make new ones for Bridge water. We had matches where our bumpers fell off and another where we loose communication.
The speed needs to be stressed. our robot in particular was made to be a fast tower bot. most matches (in elims) we got 4-6 low boulders in a game and 1-2 defenses taken out. Team 1257's bot as i saw it on the field was a super fast breecher bot that put in 2-4 boulders per match.
All in all, week 1 was a hectic competition with some fun matches. I look forward to the Bridge water event.
And Thank You to 1257 and 1676 who helped us win Mount Olive. You guys are incredible and i wish you all a lot of luck in your future events
