First Week Regionals *Merged*

[whakojacko]

our arm fell almost fully extended holding a tetra onto one of the side rails . It unlinearized our linear bearings, sigh. We also went with the 6 wheel design and liked it. We had a custom gearbox with shifters, but didnt shift a lot.

Also realized just how important strategy is this year, i cannot stress this enough. Our plan that let us, 245, and 766 go lossess in elims was the result of 2 hours of thinking friday night at the hotel. When we had started qualifiers on friday, we originall were ranked 3 at lunch. However, teams figured out that our big capping capability was neutralized by a moderate pushing bot. So every match in the afternoon we faced alliances which sent their worst capping bot at us, with a decent amount of success that had dropped us to 14th by the selections on saturday. However with a strategy that our team got down from playing lots of rounds together we were effective in neutralizing pushing bots against us. Strategies like this were so effective against pushing bots that we really had no troubles getting pushed around in elims. So for other regionals, teams GET A GOOD STRATEGY!
