Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
6. Car Nack hopes he is wrong, however he foresees controversy over early mini-bot deployment issues. Car Nack has spoken |
Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
Everyone's going to LOVE the refs this year.

I sense a lot of drama and a lot of the enforcement of <T04> in our future.

Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
Another prediction that is a sibling of this one is, too much controversy over the deployment height.

Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
This will really be a problem as teams go deeper in the playoffs. Teams will be more evenly matched and so will mini-bots. Deployment time will be the deciding factor.
So unless you install a light curtain around the base of every pole, there will be plenty to argue about. |
Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
Car Nack is wise.
I think week one is going to be FUBAR as far as penalties are concerned. I'm glad I'm not reffing 'till week 2! |

How do you simultaneously watch the bottom of the tower and a clock at the same time, if you're a ref?

I'll be Refereeing week 1 at Finger Lakes Regional, I'll let you know how it goes

But what miracle fix is everyone expecting after week 1 other than allowing deployment at any time or cutting the minibot points in half? I don't see either happening. |

Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
I'm sure there's going to be some sort of noise that will play once the match is down to the last 10 seconds. This will make it easier for everyone, refs and teams alike, to know when it is legal to deploy the minibot. As far as deployment height goes, we might see a line on the poles to show where the max deployment height is.

I also expect many problems with zone infraction rules. The GDC has an impossible job creating the rules. They do an amazing job but there is always rules that need to be fixed after week one. |
Re: Car Nack Predicts 2011-6
I foresee a lot of teams in earlier regionals, if not in all of them, forgoing mini-bot deployment unless it's absolutely necessary to win.
