We might be able to win 2v3 if we had our two best robots out of the tunnel, but there's just no way it would have worked if we were in the tunnel. At some point we would have to come out and score. We might have bought 15-30 seconds of no looping, but it would ultimately still have happened.

Particularly when you consider that 469 is still a VERY good midfielder.
In that case why have your autonomics bring your robot to the tunnel? It doesn't seem like your strategy from the start was to stay there and stop 469 from entering so why even run that autonomous?
