ie: how many (if any) matches would have changed in result if you didn't place in autonomous?

For Florida I went back through the matches and confirmed we won two matches at least because of the extra ringer. One time it missed in finals if we would have had one more ringer we would have won Florida regional.

So it really made a difference. Plus teams notice you because you are moving and scoring while others are sitting there.

We usually score under 5 seconds.

Well congrats on your robot, it looks excellent.
And that's too bad about florida. Speaking from experience, it's a real bummer when you come so, so close to winning a regional, but don't.

Auton scoring made a huge difference in 648's win-loss ratio... only one match was lost that we placed a keeper in... that happened to be the first one. Good luck to you all here in Atlanta... I really need to get to bed now. I'll drop by 1902's pit, fo' sho'!
