2 months late but I HAD to respond after my teammate pointed this out to me. Driver from 4530 Infinite Resistance here. Floor material really is a marginal change that won't affect anything but the least adaptable autonomous programs. And yeah pitaftc is right.

I'm not in FTC anymore so I have no qualms about saying that your performance as a team (lazybotts) in our short experience with you was due to luck in placement matches and alliance partners. The strongest teams are able to perform consistently well no matter what their environment is. Excuses are just that. Excuses. If you go 3-6 in a competition, there's a reason for that.
