1. Parking on the Center Vortex Base or the Corner Vortex Ramp ONLY scores points during Autonomous, so don't bother parking in Endgame.  2. Penalties are being called for hitting the Beacons and perimeter walls too hard. "Too hard" is somewhat subjective, but the referees' call is final so consider modifying your button pushing mechanism and/or implementing a drive-slow mode for activating the Beacons. 3. Lifting the Cap Ball before Endgame will prevent your team from scoring the Cap Ball at all - see <GS15>.  Anyone have any other tips to share? Please comment! This scholarship for students pursuing degrees in Biomedical Engineering & Pre-Med is open for applications. Deadline is February 1, 2017.
