Which is why our robot did so well (9th seed, 5-2-1 record)--because our efficient and effective ball herding system consistently got our alliance 8 to 15 balls per match and allowed us to match up well with anyone who could cap and/or hang.
Our losses came when we were matched with non-cappers/hangers or with cappers/hangers who couldn't work. We were looking forward to nationals, where we figured that all of the teams that made it that far would be able to cap/hang consistently, but we lost in the finals after we were bumped up to seventh seed. Oh well
