Are teams doing "hard play" on the off season: - New rookie drivers don't drive that well
- Changes to the rules made it more of a defense game
- It's the off season so making the robot "last" until Championships isn't that important.
- Too much hockey playoff action slamming into the boards

That wasn't your imagination. As the referee in 'that corner' of the field, some of the collisions with the wall were scary.
There were only 3 or 4 teams playing that hard, and I think that much of it was a combination of all of those factors. For one team, it was most certainly inexperienced drivers. For another team, it was the desire to play hard defense in an effort to win against a team perceived as 'better' - once they got a penalty for field damage, they changed their driving to not whack the field so hard.

Sean is awesome, and very generous with his talents.
I think they decided to just go to semifinals, and a 4-way was logistically easier than a 6-way.
