The match went to the 8th seed.

Had to be the best stradegy of FLR. I can't wait to see if we have video of it.

If there is video, this will probably be the best match from the first two weeks to study. It will be of interest for teams with all ranges of robot abilities showing examples of both what to do, and what not to do.

Most every team wants to go out there and show what they've got. Sweep balls, then once you reach a reasonable capacity find the closest stationary target to unload into. Not a bad strategy most of the time, and we spent the entire qualification round doing this, with a fair amount of success.

This match will demonstrate just how dangerous it is to do this with little regard for field position, time left, position of other opponents on the field, and super cell distribution.
