I'm not sure about the magic formula for the top Georgia teams to "breach" into the edges of Einstein, but there are definitely some subtle lines to be crossed. FRC4188 was able to make it into the finals at Huntsville's Rocket City Regional as an Alliance captain losing to Robonauts (FRC118) and Bomb Squad (FRC16) and beating Children of the Swamp (FRC179) and Cryptonite (FRC624). The 4188 robot got a little worse as it paid the price for its sensitivity to tuning and a late change from tread to wheels during build season. Each team could come up with a lessons learned "page" we could all share - I'll challenge the build roster to post something on FRC Georgia Alliance facebook page.
District has some great potential if more teams could go to a Destination Einstein fields for part of their unbag time within a week of a District competition. It would be great to see teams doing more than get their robot running and have some time to practice interaction skills with the game.
By kickoff, I think the Destination Einstein fields in Georgia will have sign-ups for the traditional Week 6 pre-bag&tag scrimmage but also weekends before District events so this would be a possibility. Here is a link to the Columbus DE field registration page:
