Re: 2009 Connecticut Regional
Our first match was pretty stacked too (match 6, 121/1100/1124 vs. 2168/558/2497), though it didn't have all low numbers. Technically, at this regional, 1100 and 1124 were in the upper half of...

Re: 2009 Connecticut Regional
Will there be power in the stands (can we set up scouting laptops there)?
And/or can we set up a local wifi connection? I know we couldn't at Boston, but some regionals have allowed it.

Re: pic: Team 1100 - Robot '09

Re: Best Ways To Scout
My experience, I think both scouting in the pits and on the field is important. From the pit, talking to the teams, you can find out a lot about the robot. You can tell if they are doing what they...

Re: What do you think of the design of the game?
I like it.
It provides a big challenge (hurdling a heavy, slippery, BIG ball over a 6.5ft high, 3ft wide overpass) for veteran teams to try, while at the same time giving rookie teams a challenge...
