That is the game animation so it isn't exactly to scale so it looks like there is no room to see when there is. Here is a pic I took at the Manchester kickoff.

Pschhh.... who needs to see? Its all about programming! Just make your robot 100% autonomous.... Of course... Then in that case, no one will want to drive because they will have the absolute worst view of the field.... :)

The camera and the tape lines for seem to be essential for this game.

Winner^. Those two things are definitely going to be a key to this game.

i think you guys are seeing the wrong view of this. FIRST is trying to get teams to try to block the other teams veiw, because you score on the opposite end of your driver station.

Please re-read the manual.

I can't find that in the manual. Can you tell me where you saw it? ::rtm::

First of all, that is not true. You score at your own driver station. Second, why would FIRST want that? That would be considered a form of cheating.

Re: pic: Tubes

looks like we should score high and low and forget about the middle. it would interesting if it were possible to Coopretitionly score the opposing alliance's middle row as a detriment to the opposing alliance's visibility.

That doesn't help. They will need to be really, really short. Like around 5 feet. The picture I took was at eye level or just above which would be 6 feet.

What do the tubes feel like and how heavy are they. Do we get one in our kit?
I am in the Australian team and we have not got our kits yet.

It's too bad that you haven't gotten your kit yet :(

They feel like the material used for water wings. We get three (one of each shape) in the kit. I don't have a weight for you, but they're really really light.

They are not listed on the KOP list but one of each minus the uber tube is included.

THAT POSITION MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW. My mind just got kind of blown.

PERFECT!
For once in my driver career, being 5'3" will give me an advantage!
Thank you FIRST!

Re: pic: Tubes

This is why the use of the camera from the KOP could be really useful this year. I hope the camera does not stream low-framerate video during competition play this year: last year my team's driver ignored the camera because it was sluggish.

The truth. There were all kinds of tweaks posted last year that resulted in near-realtime video. We should gather all of them together for the various programming languages, and make a sticky in the programming sub-forum.
