I don't think teams necessarily "failed" in what they attempted. I don't think we failed even though we never captured once in our 16 matches. For us to capture we required help. We could not guarantee a capture on our own since we needed a couple goals by our alliance partners, and to have everyone parked on the batter. We could however be pretty sure we could breach since there were more partners that could help us, so that's what we focused on.

We scored 6 high goals in teleop in our last finals match (the short blue bot). Just because the data counts us as 0% for capturing doesn't mean we're not capable. I have a feeling capture percentage will rise as the weeks go on By champs it should be pretty common.
