Thoughts on the competiton balls

My experience in FIRST has taught me that, whatever you do, make sure that no single failure can eliminate half your drive system.[...] The worst feeling in the world is having your robot driving around in circles when there is critical business to be done on the playing field. - Andrew [more]

Yeah, one team (can't remember the number) had a hook paired with their ball-handling system, and they came down too fast and popped one of the balls with their hook (accidentially). It surprised everyone, even though severals teams popped their balls or had problems with them way before competition.
