Now, i'm asking myself, and you, what's the best strategy a robot with no attack systems can use in the competition?
Help? ><
So you have 8 days until ship, which is 8 more days to do incredible things. Plenty of teams can tell you stories about what great things they've accomplished just before ship.

Right now, talk to your team and focus on ONE thing. Set up a game plan to get that one thing done before ship. That will do you a lot more good than lamenting your losses, because there's still time to create some huge scoring potential.
