Re: What did we learn - FIRST Scrimmages?

Of the 30 robots at the Suffield Shakedown, there were maybe 5 or 6 that attempted to hook on and elevate. Only a few were successful. Usually it took more than 20 seconds to complete the process.

The matches were low scoring. If that trend continues into the regionals, being able to elevate could be very beneficial.

Our drive teams had a little trouble adjusting to having the robot facing them most of the time.

Going over the bumps was not much trouble.

Balls against the side walls were difficult to break free.

I think there was only one goal scored during autonomous.
