I thought the webcast was pretty darn good! For those of you there, the eliminations looked very tight. What was the deciding factor? Defense, offense or just overall cooperation between alliance members. One thing that really surprises me is how rare it is to get all three robots up on the platform. and how seldom alliance members helped each other getting all three robots scored.

The other thing that seems to be happening that I wasn't sure about was using a defensive strategy in autonomous mode. This seems to be pretty effective. If you don't have a scoring capability in autonomous, just program your robot to drive into the competition and disrupt their shots.
