That's a losing proposition. Ball handing and dealing with defense seem to be key. Your team was great at the inbound for the possession (high percentage and low time) and 2052 was able to receive it from you reasonably quickly and reliably as well. Our bot (when working-- ugh) simply sealed the deal on each cycle and was able to play defense on their in-bounding robot while awaiting the ball.

Before 2052 lost the ability to throw over the truss it was up to us to chase down the ball -- sometime 1:2 against the defense. Afterwards 2052 had to drive us the ball or we had to meet causing 2:1 or 2:2 odds which worked more in our favor. Interesting to think whether losing the truss throw actually helped our alliance or hurt it.

Hey Craig,

Looking over a video from behind the wall, I think I see where our halo may have been bent. 2052 was trying to get the ball to us in our zone, but it escaped. We picked it up, turned around to shoot, and we were hit on the BAD/BLT side a few times from 359, and it was high enough to hit our halo in the shooting position. After that, we shot to the left. You can see the side view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFcNY6nVTCQ. Look around the 1:20 mark. That may be what happened. They were playing legit defense, just hit us repeatedly and caught us in the wrong place.
