What has surprised you this year?

Something that I severely underestimated this year was how important robots with a ground intake would be, as in how well they compete in a regional and how helpful they are as partners. (Or how scary they can be as opponents)

Not necessarily! Many teams, including teams like 118 and 1114, mainly scored using the feeder station. It's a huge bonus in autonomous, but ground pickups can definitely be matched by robots that get frisbees from the pyramid.
