Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS

I only saw 3 or 4 bots hang. Only 1 time did I see a 2X ball removed and replaced. If this trend holds, very few scores will exceed 70 or 80 points.
I think that the first two weeks of regionals are always ruff, as we go on to the later regionals, teams figure out what to do. Some teams will be playing their second or even third regional and their bots will have improved.

Just give it time, this game will be the most exciting yet.
