2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship

[Jared Russell]

We did use our stinger in all 5 of our triple balances. But a huge part of being able to do it so quickly was due to 25 and 1640. 25's locking drivetrain effectively eliminates the problem of overshoot, and 1640's swerve ensures that they stay straight on the bridge even when they are in the middle of the "sandwich".

The question of how to officiate defense against the triple balance is definitely an interesting one, as it has had major roles in the outcomes of this event, MSC, and the Queen City Regional. I know that the MAR referee crew had talked to Aiden about this exact situation prior to occurring, so I have complete confidence that the way it was officiated at this event will be consistent with how it is officiated going forward. A team update or message from the GDC to confirm this would be appreciated, however.
