Being that 469 was a good robot even without the looper, it would have been great to see both alliances adjust on the fly and try to win!

The problem with our autonomous is that it was effectively worthless.

Had we stopped 469 from getting in the tunnel we'd have needed to stay there the entire match, or they would go right back in. We'd be taking our best robot out of the game completely. We might be able to win 2v3 if we had our two best robots out of the tunnel, but there's just no way it would have worked if we were in the tunnel. At some point we would have to come out and score. We might have bought 15-30 seconds of no looping, but it would ultimately still have happened.

Particularly when you consider that 469 is still a VERY good midfielder.
