3)With these low scores, fast consistent hangers will definitely have a big edge in qualifications.
4)Don't try to hang before the finale unless you've practiced this maneuver! Expanding while touching the tower, then backing up to reposition a hook was another good way to rack up some penalty points.
5)Stay away from your opponents tower and any robots around it during the Finale. This was the last of the penalties I saw being racked up frequently
