What really would have helped in finals is.......

From my observations, in the finals, teams couldn't seem to get passed that 700 point limit. But what would have saved that problem is a stretcher. Not many teams could use a stretcher successfully. My team was one of the only teams that could use the stretcher. In our last match we offered it to team 33 but they were too scared it would mess up and they would lose their number one possition. If we had, we would have had a 500 point match or something. We tried to advertise the stretcher before the finals but no one was really interested because no one saw it used much. If it were used, the 700 point mark would have been broken. If I'm not mistaken a robot can still funtion while on it, like put big balls on(correct me if I'm wrong) that would have made a big difference, does anyone else agree.
