[The Lucas]

I see where you are going with this: Redabot would have been better to stop before line 5 and thus get a lap in the beginning of tele. It is unfortunate that they have lost those 2 points from the lap, but that is the way it goes. I have never put much stock in the fifth line even though my robot is fast enough to get it (if it was just running laps or maybe only knocking the inner track balls). Instead of a close race to the fifth line the bot makes sure it gets the fourth line by not turning as much. I know the finish line will be 2 points in tele, and the homestretch is a better starting position for acquiring trackballs that may be near the finish line or not successfully knocked.
