Re: Battle of the Middle Bridge

Good job on your drivers to give up once the balls were going the other way. An important skill in driving is to know when to alter your strategy. I think 23 got there a hair before you, and had the advantage (that time). I think it will come down to whoever is first, followed by whoever is strongest. One wrong twitch and the cannon might have fallen off the bridge.

Robots who consistently win bridge balls during auto/hybrid will make good partners. I think this discussion also shows that there should never be a reason to not have all your available balls in the robot at the start. A ball balanced on top of your robot that falls to your side of the field is better than a ball lost to the opponent's side if they win a bridge battle.

Bridge battles now need a name. Tip-o-war? (from tug-o-war)
