You guys waited too long for those 2 big balls during a match (not you, but one of your allies). The bot that was to balance the goals waited for over 20 seconds for those 2 big balls, missing a BIG time multiplier...one that was ABSOLUTELY VITAL (you guys missed the one that ends at 1:01 remaining). There were little bits here and there where time was wasted, too, nothing major, but it was cumulative.

From my perspective, in the driving box with the NYPRO alliance, you had a chance to steal the win when you guys were about to balance a full goal and an empty one, two big balls on top, all within a minute. Then the two big balls fell off because of an error while balancing.

Whatever people say, the matches were great for both sides.

Anton, the only way you could have taken the win was if you duplicated their play (including
the HP balls) and placed 2 big balls on the goals...

You would have had to do all this in under a minute...

OR

A stretched could ahave tipped the scales... but jeez... that would be complicated

We loved that Nypro play... it is in our book... green2, blue, grey-grey...haha

Why Anton, i'm so flattered that you call it the "Strategic Bible." We do take pride in it.
