I've heard a lot of talk about this recent game, the main thing people talk about is balaning, limbo bots, and big balls as our main fuctions of the robot. But what about the stretcher, my team was the only team I saw use a stretcher(I may be wrong, please correct me), the stretcher was a huge part of the game, if a stretcher were used in the final rounds, the score of 700 would have been broken way before. Not only could we JUST do the stretcher, we grabbed both goals, we used one of our goal grabbers for the stretcher. was that smart or what? So I think the stretcher should have been emphasized a little bit more, it would have helped the score drastically.
