It's about learning
We (2104) were fortunate to be picked by the 25, 176 alliance at UTC, knowing we had a crippled drive train, and are grateful for that. Up until the finals, the strategy of 25 & 176 scoring then ramping on us worked well. During the 1st final round, 25 was double-teamed and had difficulty scoring - a great strategy by the winning alliance. I wish we (2104) had done a better job making our drive-train work so we could have done some body-guarding, as our alliance was essentially playing 2v3. Even without any help from us, 25 did a brilliant last 10-second spoiler then missed ramping by 1/2 a second. During the 2nd final round, they changed strategy to just hold down the opponents score, then ramp for the win. During the 3rd final round they used the same strategy and our alliance was unlucky in the ramping. I didn't see anything unfair or overly aggressive in the matches. What did we learn? I love FIRST and we'll do a better/smarter job next year!
