I expect that percentage to improve next week and thereafter, as their drive team gets more comfortable with the robot.

Thanks for the heads-up on 3536. Your perspective on them as a finals opponent is very valuable.

As a team that played against 2771, I'm curious how you feel they do against defense? With the gravity feed it seems it would be easy to bump them as it's dropping and throw off the aim or even just sit in front of them with a reasonably tall robot and block since they shoot low.

They ran as quick as 11 second cycle times when being fed a ball perfectly by their human player, but I imagine ball defense can easily prevent this. They managed to put up 8 high goals - has anyone else in MI done this?
