Actually seeing this years competition really made me relize what "the most important" part of this years game was. and i think the answer to this would have to be, that there truly isn't one, though i feel hanging is arguably VERY inmportant. At the reginal, there was only one instance where a robot hung and thier aliance didn't win, but that only because the opposing aliance had bot thier robots hanging.
When we got to quarter finals it was almost imposable for us to predict how the match would go. In one instance we had an aliance partner that could open a net and catch almost all the 5point balls during auto. mode while our robot could go and knock off the 10pt ball during auto. We shot almost every ball in the goals and then our robot hung. Surprisingly, both times we did this stratigy, we didn't win
. But it sure mad for an amazing round to watch.
We still ended up in 4th place and had a great year.
