I know from experience that making it to matches is not an easy task. In Purdue the matches were literally back to back!! We got back from a match and we were already on our third call for the next match before we could even get the robot on the table to change the battery!!
I totally understand why teams can't make it to matches and don't worry guys! It is possible to win 2 v 3. We did it in Florida when our partner was gone. We just changed our strategy and escaped with a win and decent ranking points.
I appreciate though when teams tell us they can't make it. At least we have time to change our strategy to accommodate. These robots are going to break, whether we like it or not. We just have to make the best of it!
