You're talking about teams that are not only capable all around, but think of things at the system level more than others. They factor in drive practice, skill, mechanisms, automation, etc. etc. to figure out the optimal solution (for their constraints and resources) for the game. What is difficult for you, is possibly far easier for them. They also don't make assumptions (hmmm, let's not try that, it's hard!) and test items to prove they are too difficult/hard before writing them off.

Part of the "Armchair Analyst" syndrome

If the driver has enough practice I am sure they would be able to do this nearly every match. From my experience 330 always has a great driver for their robots. Can't wait to see it happen this weekend.

i am going to be completely honest and say i am extremely disappointed that i didn't pick up on this when i went through the rules that would have been such a nice thing to know at our first event.

now would this count you have a 5 tote stack with all totes facing length way you place two totes on top of that facing width was such that both totes are next to each other on the top so both count as a sixth level then placing two recycle bin on top of each tote turning 1-six stack into 2 six stacks

I don't recall anyone calling them idiots.

Not everyone is nitpicking, most are just observations.

Cans score by level. Totes score as totes, not as stacks. Assuming this was done correctly, you'd get points for (2) Level 6 Cans and points for 7 Totes.

Really pumped for the reveal.
I'm really interested to see how fast they can grab those RC's. I'm sure as we progress through the season and on to championship the grabbers won't take that long to obtain the RCs.

Center RC's are the Minibots this year.
