The Results

Our robot finished in 5th place (tied with Team 19). Our initial strategy of trying to quickly score two points by pushing the closest group of balls (two red and two green) into our scoring area proved to be very effective, because the robots collided in many of the rounds, basically disabling or disorienting both robots enough so that neither robot does something significant afterwards. In fact, we only executed our strategy to perfection once during the first round. Also, luck was a major factor because when two robots collide and/or crash into walls, anything can happen and the win often goes to the fortunate.
