Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

It takes patience and tactical driving (and maybe a bit of luck) to score many rocks from your robot. There's one jackknifed configuration where you push on the side of your opponent with your shooter/dumper positioned on their trailer that seemed to work, but any other attempts to score while moving were rather dodgy (meaning they usually dumped on the floor). Better to try to pin your opponent's trailer first and then score, but watch out for your opponent's partner that's trying to do the same thing to you! In the elimination rounds I expect to see the best robots dancing for position until the right opportunity presents itself.
