From our stand point, it seemed less of an Achilles Heel and more a case of untapped potential. 1519, 195, and our drive team had some interesting decisions to make with canburglars. 1519 had their can burglars tested and ready to go and with help from our alliance partners we had potential to speed our can grab a considerable amount through some code optimization (fun fact if you look at the video frame by frame you can see us start to get the grab on both bins before it is pulled away, we were that close). In the end our alliance together agreed that we would play it conservatively and not use 1519's canburglars or our optimization code. To our alliances surprise we were actually able to outscore the step bins and never felt that risk of no step bins was enough for our alliance to go to our full potential.
