What's the best qualifying rounds strategy?

[DigitalVector]

Hello All,

Well there are many strategies out there but the one that I, and my team, found effective was a one goal and 15-25 balls with 1-2 robots in your or the other teams zone. The second part to our strategy is to let the other aliance get two goals and go home. This gives them a 30-35 point round and we usually scored 35-55 points with balls, ONE goal, and robots at home. Our team, #16 - Baxter Bomb Squad, did this and we won most of our matches and seeded first with an average QP score of 80.something. The games we lost were due to first a loose wire on our right high speed drive system and second when we lost a potentiometer that operates from the algorithms in a feedback loop to steer our machine. Other than those two matches we won the rest.

ALSO

Team 118 in no way let the Baxter Bomb Squad down. Things happen (Losing drive motors and axles) and in no way did this let us down. Darn, we only recieved SECOND place. LOL. I loved the 118 machine and our two bots made an awesome aliance.

Hope to see all in St. Louis or Nationals!
