I do believe you're missing a digit there.

Once again, autonomous is key. It wins matches, and costs others (us in semi-finals). It is also important that the entire alliance has some sort of autonomous shooting. Our eliminations alliance had all three robots shooting three frisbees into the three-point goal, and we had the capacity to score nearly many points in the first 15 seconds as the first seed alliance, even with 118's 7-frisbee autonomous.

Driver practice is important, as is strategically shutting down the lanes opposing robots use to feed. Picking up frisbees off the ground will only get more important from here on out, as it will save many trips across the field.

Climbing to the third level is important, but can easily be bested if it takes over 30 seconds, and there is a good shooter on the other team. 10-point climb is quick, and much less dangerous (ask 148).

Interestingly, we never went up against a full-court shooter, so we never felt the need to have a tall-defensive bot that sacrificed the ability to go through pyramids. That being said, 3847 is extremely impressive because it retains the best of both worlds. I still credit our loss in semis to their defense.
