Stopping a Triple Balance
In the week 2 Autodesk Oregon regional only one alliance triple balanced and, even though they were the 8th alliance, ended up winning the regional. As the weeks tick by I suspect triple balancing will become the path to victory for many alliances.
Teams with a long orientation robot, like ours, would seem to be at a disadvantage here. They are more stable on the bridges in the qualification matches and double balance nicely but unless you are lucky enough to pick a couple of abnormally short robots for your alliance you aren't likely to be doing much triple balancing.
I haven't watched all the week three regionals but has a method emerged to legally slow down or stop a triple balance by an opposing alliance? Can anyone point to videos of matches where that worked out?
