I will be posting two videos from the Suffield Shakedown soon.
Scrimmages are mostly for the FTAs to troubleshoot the field operating system.
Also, rookies feel better about their progress.
In some of the videos, you will notice error codes flashing where the team numbers are usually displayed.
The tower base colors are cool.
Logos will be made. Autonomous will improve. Ubertubes will be important.
Minibots are game changers. Deployment mechanisms are crucial.
Minibots falling on the field and getting run over by the robots are, to quote Andy Grady: "Oh the moral horror!"
Midfield traffic jams and ubertubes clogging the lanes and the rack base are issues.
Defense will be an effective strategy in the midfield area.
We won't know until week three, but I think this game will be a very good one indeed.
