Re: Winning strategies from winning teams

We found a strategy to help keep the bridge clear of balls. Tip the bridge from the side with our foot. This way they can roll down the ramp and NOT hit the robot (which tends to knock the balls under the bridge). Instead they roll nicely away towards the alliance wall. I can't claim credit for this (I saw team 2974 do it first).

This is way too late, but I'm glad others caught on to my idea
