Yes Velcro is hook and loop, loop is the fuzzy side. Put the hook on your controller.




A few words of advice:

Hybrid mode is very important. Get your robots moving. Even if it just moves a little and gets in the way of an opposing bot its a plus.

When discussing strategy with your alliance, determine which robot gets ball priority. When you have three robots going for two balls your best shooter will get robbed of chances to hurdle.

It can be difficult to see your home stretch from the #1 player station because of the glare. Slightly tinted or yellow safety glasses will help if your regional will allow them. I think after fields get lots of play it may get even worse for the later regionals.
