Re: If YOU were the GDC...
In the current ranking system, getting 4 Rps is an easy thing to do in IN if you have the win. So getting extra ranking points based on margin would encourage more high goals than low goals. Maybe if...

Re: If YOU were the GDC...
I definitely see your point but that is a one time scenario. The point of the winning margin RPs would be for teams that consistently win by 30 points or more. So say we stuck 2056 in a competition...

Re: If YOU were the GDC...
I've said this since week 3 to my team mates but we'll see how others feel about this. I'd change the ranking point system slightly. This years ranking system was far better than just W-L-T, but it...

Re: Boulder Starvation
The closest thing I've seen to this was at IN DCMP. In a few matches, teams on the same alliance would cross the defense in auto, spit it out, go into the neutral zone, go back into the courtyard,...

Re: Did FRC3548 become DNP at MSC due to red card!
I'm honestly surprised that was a red card. 3940 did something very similar in this (http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2016incmp_qm17) match. I assume you guys got called for a G24. Here is what...

Re: Signing at CMP?
Last year, Dean Kamen came to our week 3 event in Indiana. He signed a lot of shirt sleeves and mascots. I still love looking at 461's mascot (what even is that mascot? Haha) and seeing Dean Kamen's...

Re: Is Stronghold the roughest game yet?
Ah... Yes the cheval de frise. I know some teams with the prefect pressure in their pneumatic wheel would fly a foot high off the rock wall. Did any teams ever get beat up by hitting the portcullis...

Re: Is Stronghold the roughest game yet?
I'd say if you don't see hard robot to robot action at your events, you may want to look at some IN competitions sometime. Lots of hard defense in IN this year resulting in 2 red cards and some...

Re: INsight: Indiana State Championships
Look at finals match 3. Look at 111 seconds left. 1501's whole left front corner is inside of 1024's robot. This by rule is a red card foul. Intentional? Absolutely not. This is because 1501's...

Re: INsight: Indiana State Championships
Sorry it seems like I'm defending 1529 so much. I love 1501 and 1529 but 1529 had many reasons to target 1501. They had the best high goal average on the alliance. They were tall. And last of all,...

Re: INsight: Indiana State Championships
I don't think the intent of their strategy was to hurt 1501's robot. Knowing their students and the drive coach, that'd never be in the strategy. Hitting them over and over again may have been apart...

Re: Championship Waitlist
Thanks so much! I totally forgot about the district teams that already qualified via regionals. All in all, they still have pretty big amount of wait list spots to give out.
