316 Needs Feedback

[SammyKay]

I'm not totally sure if this is the right place to post this, but since it has to do with the Baltimore Regional, I think I'm in the right place.

316 has consistantly been ranked in the middle range right before alliance pickings in every regional we have been in. At the Baltimore Regional, we were ranked 24 out of 60 teams. While we are glad to be in the middle range and not the lower range, we are looking for some feedback from other teams about what might be our weaknesses. Because we are so focused on the in-the-moment part of the competition, we aren't really able to look at the whole picture.

One thing we have noticed is that in practice before we shipped the robot, we decided that backing up and coming to the tubes head on worked better than having to turn around a lot. However, in the matches we did just what we decided was a bad idea to do.

Did any other teams notice things that we did or did not do that are preventing us from getting higher in the rankings?
