I have to agree with you Chris. If you are honest about your robots abilities, you can pull those "impossible" wins. How? Because you honestly know what each of you can do and has done every match. Therefore, you know if you keep doing that you will at least perform as you have in every other match. This way your alliance is performing to the max. On the other hand, if you try to do something you are not so capable of, you are most likely to under-perform and lose. This also applies in-general - if you robot is not capable of doing something(even though it was designed and built for it), stop trying to make it work. For example, if your arm is not capable of capping on the top row easily, do the middle and bottom. While this is common sense, I have seen so many teams continuously try to do what they are not so capable of. It wastes time and makes you look bad. It is easier to pick a team who is honest about their abilities and performs it consistently.
