Re: Was the Low Bar worth it?

Absolutely worth it. We stayed low, never got a single tortuga after 5 events, and successfully accomplished every single challenge of the game with the exception of the drawbridge with one robot. We got our high goal shooter dialed in at champs but quickly realized that it was too late and that other teams in our division were still faster than us. We even successfully cheesecaked our tiny climber for two other teams.

What worked in NC simply did not work at Championships. We were prepared for that until our climber gearbox broke on us after 3 competitions and we missed climbing for three or four matches. I believe if we had spent more time on our high goal shooter capability we would have been more competitive at the big show.
