Re: week 1: Three Things I've Learned
Three things I learnt:

1. Hybrid Mode.
-16 points in Hybrid for one robot is two hurdles, and if your aliance can't catch up that fast, you've got some serious potential.

2. Defense, taken in doses.
-There is a new kind of defense this year, a defense that requires slick movement and speed. Defense is not required the entire time, but being able to defense smart can help imensely.

3. Aliance selection competiton
-Other than the complete shaft 1733 got at Midwest regional, did anyone notice how fast the most powerful teams were picked? Granted the most powerful teams always get picked, but this year the competition to pick who you want is even higher. I also think that second picks are competitive. Natinals isn't going to be a selection, it's a draft.
