But there were a few matches where capping played a HUGE role and most of the alliances that went deep into the playoffs had at least one capping robot.
Has anyone seen anything like this at any other regionals (if there have been any others yet) and if you have, what do you think of it?

Capping is important
only if your alliance can score balls--and that means that at least one of the robots must be able to efficiently collect and deliver balls and your human players must be good.
If one team can cap and one team can score balls, than you're very well off. Re: Us and Hyper allianced in practice on Thursday scoring over 200 points this way.
