Re: Week 1 lessons learned: balancing strategy

We have a purpose built mechanism just for this purpose; it may not be as impressive as a triple bot balance, but a garunteed double balance in thirty seconds or less allowed us to play some strategic defense and the rest of the alliance to score until the last part of the match.

I'm surprised so many teams wrote off balancing as easy or simple, and there weren't more dedicated robots or mechanisms.
