Floor pickup will still be important with the number of Frisbees that will start on the floor, as well as those from missed shots. After attending the Suffield Shakedown, I can attest to the safety issue involved here. If you want to, blame the lawyers, not the GDC. The GDC made a thoughtful choice here. Less than 10 percent of the Frisbees thrown made it into a goal. At least the game reset crew is probably going to have an easier time of it. Let's not make this a bigger deal than it is. |

I understand frisbees are less predictable and controllable than a ball or tube, and way more likely to deviate off course, but at some point, game element like this (nonscoring related) should not be changing. |

Honestly, teams should have built for both human loading and floor loading.

Team 1671 The Bird Brains made their entire bot to have an amazing pick-up system, to easily get disks from the ground. Now there will be only missed shot disks for us to pick-up. This really lowers the advantage that we had in the last 30 seconds. We could easily get 2 shots of 4 off in that time. I agree that something needs to be done to even the game out not sure what it would be.
Not too happy with FIRST about this decision but oh well :/ |
Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day
I think I am mostly just disappointed because that frenzy of discs was so fun to watch in the last 30 seconds! Just like building a slip n slide off the top of your house, you know its probably not the safest idea but it is so fun you can't resist! However, with FIRST being held responsible for the people on that slip n slide, I can regrettably understand their decision.
That being said, there were still a ton of discs on the floor from missed shots at our week 0 event. Though this change will obviously impact strategy, it might not be quite as drastic as initially thought. Our strategy of no floor pickup seemed a little questionable at our event because the number of discs that ended up on the floor early in the match was higher than we anticipated. |

2. Almost every year, the good teams have been able to get game pieces off the ground or from HP(2012,2011,2010,2009,2007,2006,etc..) |

GREAT rule change. While I could understand some frustration to not realizing this earlier, this is why there are week 0 events. Anyone who was at any of the scrimmages could have told you that the last 30 seconds were an absolute mess and needed to be changed...for the better of the game, and for the safety of those involved. Those of us who volunteer on the field are greatly appreciative of it, I assure you.
