Re: Now that the build season is done...

people went for the 2x balls because they assumed that everyone else would go for the 5 point balls. and nobody did.

this just brings us back to the number one rule of FIRST robot concepts - never assume that you can leave an important game function to an alliance partner.

the teams that actually did go for the small balls pretty much have it made - even if they are only mediocre at the job, they are still part of a very small array of robots with that vital ability.
