Re: Field Crew Bragging Rights

Thanks, Mark, for posting this information. Having two people on the AndyMark staff (Mark Koors and Jerry Budd) who are FTA's, this information is very good to see.

While this information is very valuable, I also think that other information is needed to be considered, along with match cycle time, to get "bragging rights". It would be nice to get this information:

1. How many robots were able to connect to the playing field by the end of the Practice Day
2. How many robots, on average, ran each match

I believe that a combination of these things gives the field crew bragging rights, not just match cycle time. If one regional had a cycle time of 6:31 and had 4.5 robots run each mach, while another regional had a cycle time of 7:00 and had 5.2 robots run each match, I would give more credit to the second regional crew for getting more robots running for each match, even though they ran a 30 second slower cycle time.

It would be nice if FMS would spit out an "average robots per match" number along with this cycle time number. Is this possible?

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
