Re: Suspending
We had the wide hook, and even with a lift that would hang us in four seconds (yes, really, four seconds), there wasn't enough time to coordinate a suspension.
After a bump from an opponent almost got us a red card (the wide hook touched the ball return mechanism -- which means that were it a bump from an allied robot, we would have gotten that red card, but because it was from the other alliance we did not), so we removed it and kept part of it because it is bright green, and thus easy for our drivers to see.
If I may so humbly say, we had the best lift of the FLR, hands-down... And we weren't even close to seeing any viable situation where suspension was possible.
