From a scouting standpoint, I hope those Yellow placards under the team number in the Alliance Station signifying a Yellow Card are large enough so we can see them from the stands!!!
(That's my only request/suggestion in case anyone who is implementing these is listening.)

It is a full sheet of letter paper size in yellow.

That works, & I was assuming it would be that size, but had a fear of a simple index card being used. :ahh: lol
Thanks Alex! :D

Did you now know that was legal previous to the update? :cool:
It was on a Q&A post a while ago.
Sounds good, & should be interesting to see how teams make use of this "new" way of game play.

We always kept it as an option but at NJ they were making HP's use the tongs which was a pain in the butt because the loading took forever.

During Build we found out the HP can pass like 7 balls to the robot in less than 5 seconds using their hands.... We'll see how everything works out.
