As engineer over 1902 and over auto mode, Einstein was frustrating. I don't think anyone made an auto mode in Einstein.

Reasons for us:
Round 1. We were having arm problems and needed to adjust. Fixed it.

Round 2 and 3. Arm ok. Didn't realize this until I reviewed the tapes. Our partner hit the rack just as we did and knocked the rack ringer over just enough to make us miss. both rounds 2 and 3, they hit just perfectly 1/2 second before us and since it was right next to us threw the ringer off. In hind sight we should have run our 5 second delay which is one of our auto options.

Going from 80-95% to zero in Einstein was and is frustrating, but all part of the game.

Now I got to decide between voting for 1902 or 386. 386 had an exceptional consistency in getting lower rack and would try again if missed and got hit and still made it. 1902 was fast, could do low and middle. Oh the big decisions.
