Re: How to get -130 In penalties

I want to say that I'm impressed with how 2397 handled this match. After an unfortunate hybrid mode that would have destroyed the motivation of many drive teams, they still went out and ran a penalty-free match while scoring 7 laps. 2397 really stood out to me as a team that refused to give up both in this match and in their build. They came to the Duel in the Desert scrimmage 3 days before ship day and didn't even have a working drivetrain, some of our members and members of other teams helped them enough to get the wheels chained to the transmissions but I still don't think they drove around at all that day. Over the few days left of build and Thursday at the regional they attached a ball knockoff that actually worked well and got their robot moving; they went on to be the 2nd best lap runner at AZ (from our scouting information) and I believe only missed the playoffs due to being penalty prone.

Their members took this match pretty well from what I heard, but it did unfortunately kill off any more tries at autonomous by them. A few teams came over to help disable their autonomous and figure out what happened (we never did find out what caused it as far as I know), and they pretty much told us to make sure "the robot never moves in autonomous mode again".
