Paragon's bot tried to do all three at the NJ regional, and we never could complete everything successfully. We were seeded very low at the end of the qualifications, but we did better once we gave up on hanging.

We collect around 6 small balls and feed them quickly to our human players, which are very good. We always are able to cap with just a little time left and the proceeded to block other teams from capping/hanging.

We won the UTC regional by concentrating on ball collecting while our alliance partners went for the hang. (Thanks 716 and 230!) We worked well together and hope to be with 716 (in our division) in Atlanta.
