So after a day of watching this game, here are a couple of observations:

With defense, it becomes very difficult to score, and if a robot of the opposing alliance is between you and the end zone, you aren't getting home. While today seemed promising that high scores would happen (there were several instances of a row of 8), I don't see that happening tommorow.

Also, there needs to be a ramp graveyard. Several teams removed them. Also, although ramps are few and far between, they are a match swinger, assuming you get robots up them.

No Bumpers?!?! In our row of the pits, which is about 1/3 of the 46 teams at the regional, there are about 3 robots with full bumpers.

Just plain double ramp bots will be at a premium.

This game is all about teamwork. You must work with your alliance partners, and follow your strategy to the end. We scored much better in our practice matches when we had a plan then when all just tried to score as much as possible.
