Thanks so much for the complement.
Our mechanical design and software teams invested a tremendous effort to get our robot in shape this year. If we had a weakness, it was some inconsistency in quickly and cleanly dropping tetras onto goals. The arm operator practiced endlessly to get the timing right and made huge improvements during the season. He had to lower the arm and twist the hook in perfect synchronization to make a clean drop. In practice (no opposition), we were consistently capping 9 goals. In competition, we were generally capping 5, plus the two we capped in autonomous.
