*To remediate the problem, the team, decided to fix gears onto the lighter side of the robot. While this fixed the problem for the scrimmage, center of gravity is something the team will need to fix for further competitions. | *To remediate the problem, the team, decided to fix gears onto the lighter side of the robot.

*Another problem was that the goal grabbers and the guide were not working as well as the team had conceived beforehand. The robot would drive over the kickstand, on top of the goal, therefore having the robot touch the tube, resulting in multiple major penalties.This became a recurring, evident problem during semifinals and finals. Alliance captain 4433, also known as Smokin' Motors, stepped up and helped us place two flat plates around the guide, rendering it useless, and thus TEMPORARILY fixing the problem. Like center of gravity, this is an important problem to fix and pay attention to. | *Another problem was that the goal grabbers and the guide were not working as well as the team had conceived beforehand.
