Re: What did people learn from the practice matches?

I was at Nasa/VCU. I saw a couple teams get to the vision tetras, though i don't think i saw any cap during auton. The teams that performed best had simple arms that went up and down quickly. We had an arm with a single pivot and an apex gripper that performed very well and very quickly. But it's all about speed and reliability, not about fancy tall arms.
