Re: week 1 questions

Three things are important in this game
Speed
Speed
and
Speed


Fast bots for laps and hybrid.

Cycle time to acquire ball, move ball, and hurdle, doesn't matter if you lift shoot or a combo of both, the need to do that cycle quickly is what separates the bots.


80" rule was called in St. Louis, line penalties were big, hurdling interference was called a lot on Saturday, impeding not as much. Also extension outside the box contact was called a lot more on Saturday.
