After that is hard to make a comeback from that. Luckly our robot got 10/10 most of the time but in the low goal.

I'd have to argue with you about 25's robot. Yes their autonomous made them amazing, but also they were strong fast and even when they were pushed they could still shoot thanks to their auto-aiming camera. If you don't believe me I'm sure there is video somewhere when in the finals they were almost at the wall and still made an inordinate number of shots.
