If a team is struggling to get their drive system to do more than run in circles, and you are sitting in your pit polishing the chassis of your bot, then you don't "get it".

In many of the matches that I've seen, it's not that the robots weren't working properly. A few times, the robots tipped, making scoring very difficult without very original strategies. Other times, the machines had basic design flaws which made it difficult for them to do things quickly (I remember last year, we scored maybe 1-2 tetras per match, if that).
To the credit of the Triplets (or at least 1114), I was in 1114's pit's a bit at GLR and whenever anyone asked for anything, they were eager to help. Yes, they were sitting down, but they are probably one of the classiest teams that I've seen based on their actions.
