Re: 1549's stratagy...

Friday evening, I was standing in our pit with a few of the mentors, discussing the standings. At that point, we were ranked 4th; all 3 robots ranked higher than us were defenders. None of them had a shooter. I commented on this, and one mentor said "Who would have thought defense would be so important?" I smiled my evil little "I told ya so" smile and said "I did."

I wanted a solid defensive drivetrain from the start, but we went for scoring at the expense of defense. The reason we were finalists was because we had two good defensive bots with us, both of which had excellent drivers. They'd defend us while we shot, both in autonomous and during the main match. 393 also made sure we'd win autonomous; their dump was really consistant in auto.
