Re: Triple Cyclers or Defense?

Chris is Me you are, IMO, right on the money. Although we lost in the tie breaker in the finals with a defensive robot on us, I feel that we could have won had our alliance robots been shooting as we had in the quarters and the semi's. We put up 197 points with three high goal shooters. We were missing auto shots and undefended teleop shots which was the reason for the loss. We lost by 15 (three high goal shots). Had we made the two auto shots which we had been making, defense would have had not made a difference.
Now, none of this takes away from the amazing play of 1156 and 287 and their top notch shooting ability, nor the great defense played by 263. I just feel (especially seeing all of the unforced errors by our alliance) that three hi goal shooters could definitely beat a two shooter/one defender alliance, even without having them shoot from the outer works.
And yes, I know this is going to open a whole lot of comments but remember, this is just my view.
