High score at San Diego yesterday was 322 points, second highest was 256 (and would've been higher had the match not ended a second before we could shoot the bonus ball). Both of these happened during eliminations, and not by the same alliance.
At both the regionals I've been to, the majority of teams have focused on scoring in the far goal and neglected the high goal. The teams that can score in the high goal have had a significant advantage, especially the ones that can empty their robot into the high goal and still pick up plenty of balls to score in the end game. Is this true anywhere else?
(Also, the importance of the end-game seems to have pretty much ended the practice of scoring on yourself for ranking points in all but the most unbalanced matches. Even then, it's risky... as some teams have found out the hard way.
