MOE has really deemed VCU as a great learning experience. We started out in the practice rounds looking, well, like crap. Progressively through the competition though, each match got better and better - as the timing for the drivers got better, and as the robot was fixed as well. In our final qualifying match, we performed the best we ever did. Our strategy was nearly flawlessly executed - and it worked.
As for the best strategy I saw - it obviously depends on the capabilities of the robots in the alliance. Even though our alliance lost our second elim match because of it - balls become trivial to the placement of goals. In many cases, torque and traction we able to control the ball controlling robots(which were mostly speedy)'s goals. If we hadn't fallen apart, controlling three goals would have done a nice job over at VCU. Needless to say, improvements are being made and we'll be ready for Drexel!
