Just wanted to weigh in on the "When should the captain sit out" discussion.
We were the captain of the 4th seed on Tesla. We played exactly 1 match in Elims, because that was the best strategy.
Both 2415 and 3130 could shoot from the outerworks. 3042 was a crazy good defense bot (see SF for proof). Our bot had only rarely been enough of a threat to warrant defense, so we weren't great against it (we got in off of the waitlist, and made a massive upgrade). It made sense to run 3130, 2415, and 3042 in elims, so we did.
As an additional bonus, our robot has technically never played in a match and lost at champs
(more from luck than anything else).
