Episode Synopsis "Season 4 Episode 12 - Pin Cushions"

A bunch of events have happened since our last show. We've got Madison Krass from team 488, Sean Lavery of team 1712, Pat McCarthy alumni of 67, a team-less Michele Celio, Greg Needel of team 2775 and Jeff Rodriguez of team 173. We're talking about Rochester, Oregon, Silicon Valley, Michigan events and Florida. What strategies worked well? How can you counter them? Is scoring in autonomous really beneficial? Those of us outside of Michigan want to know what the feel of a district event is. Pat has got some pictures to share to illustrate the atmosphere. So far, they seem to be running well and keeping on time. Pinning is rearing it's ugly head this year and Jeff thinks its boring. Regardless, pinning seems to be here to stay. How do you defeat it? Maybe the answer is with a couple of supercells.
