Go to Post Mentors may not be the direct focus of FIRST, but they are just as involved as students are. They play a pivotal role in the success of FIRST and of the success of every team. - Dan Petrovic [more]

Last year on the other hand, there was a clear advantage. First, you get points, second, there is a bonus, third there was the advantage of playing defense first, which i know at least 25 used to thier advantage when playing. I even think that they lost the final in nationals due to the fact that they were beaten in autonomous in one of the final matches. ( correct me if im wrong)
Our team discovered a fairly specific but still notable advantage to scoring a keeper: the sixth tube in a row is quite critical when you're the only scoring bot on an alliance going up against an alliance hoping to score 60 bonus points. We could fairly consistently score five by ourselves, but had trouble getting that elusive sixth one that would have given us the win in quite a few matches. If our autonomous mode had been working before Saturday morning, we might have had different outcomes in quite a few matches.
