This is largely correct. In addition our team gages what we think we need at any given competition. For our week one we decided the priority was batter shooting and defense crossing. We were very happy with our performance. We learned a ton and are already making major bot revisions. We already know for week five scoring from the defensive positions and climbing will be necessary. That is our focus now.

This is the same every season. Trying to draw conclusions from performance after a week one event is a waste of time. Going into week one there are many variables that are totally unknown including field response and reffing.
