Re: week 1 questions

Most teams didn't seem to be actively using signaling devices, but I'm not really sure as I wasn't involved with a team competing this weekend, just watching.
Of the two regionals I saw, 1114 and 1625 were the most dominant. Both of them combined aspects of the arms and shooters (probably closer to the shooter end), but their biggest advantages were their speeds (both of their physical robot and of their ball acquisition).
I don't think I saw a single penalty called for 80 inches or impeding, but I saw countless line crossing violations and a few high speed ramming/aggressive driving.
Qualification matches generally had low scores, but the eliminations picked up it substantially.
