At practice today, it was either Arefin Bari, Dan Richardson, or Barry Bonzack.

I bet it was Arefin. :p

From 6.2.2 of The Arena section

Quote:

The end of the leg has a retaining plate, known as the SPIDER FOOT, made of a 10-inch diameter disk of diamond plate aluminum. The SPIDER FOOT prevents GAME PIECES from falling off once they are placed on the SPIDER LEG.

Calling the matches today was a fun experience. I'm impressed with the performance of many of the robots that came to compete for practice matches.

Yes i couldnt get it to play for more than 3-5 seconds on my laptop. After those issues, i opted to open the webcast in WMP on my desktop directly through the Link and it has seemed to work nice since then.

Why are there so many no shows at UCF? 233 did not make a practice nor there first qualification match. Robot inspection too tough?

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 
why are the refs using tape measures before the matches? haven't the robots been inspected?

That's what I was wondering. I think the robot inspections are very very strict at UCF.

Sometimes the robots were not completely within their starting dimensions. In other regionals, they let it go because normally there is no advantage and they are pretty close in their starting dimensions. Actually, I think most robots usually are.

In match 13 i saw a row of 6 that should have not counted. At least in nj if there was a tube under another tube hanging on the bottem row it did not count.

At BAE ringers that had another on the floor under them were counted. In my opinion, that is the correct way to score these, otherwise you can get free spoilers just by pushing any tube on the floor under ones scored on the bottom row.

Keep in mind this is my opinion based on observations, I do not have the rules in front of me right now.

This is certainly something that should be asked about during the The drivers meeting with the refs.

Good luck

HANGING: a GAME PIECE is considered HANGING if its’ weight is fully supported by a SPIDER
LEG and it has been released by the POSSESSING ROBOT. A GAME PIECE is not considered
HANGING if it is supported by the SPIDER FOOT
Technically, it cannot be considered to be HANGING and therefore it should not count.
