Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

Ok, I talked to a member of 254 who is there helping out and this is what he told me:

190 has been able to get to the platform during auto mode, but theyve only ben able to hang 50% of the time.

190's shields, when deployed optimally, leave around 3" of the bar uncovered on either end, which allows someone with a good enough driver to get a hook on there, or to push up on the end of it to get their hook on under the shields.

60 made a new hook last night that allows them to deal with 190's shields (Im not sure what's going on with this)

330 can shimmy on the bar, but apparently 60 is fast enough to drive to the other end of the bar before 330 can traverse it.

234's 3rd pick (868 I think) has been doing nothing but disrupting teams from hanging, which theyre real good at.

60 is hitting the ball in auton, grabbing the goal, decapping it, and bringing it back to the player's station. Then they go to the opponents side of the field, herd all the balls back to their side, then do the same on their side. They get around 60% of the balls to their HP per match

I cant remember what else I heard, but it sounds like it's going to be 60+234+868 and 980+190+their partner in the finals.
