Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day

The rule is changed.... we move on...

I do think that perhaps another change might be in order to at least give credence to the teams that were counting on frisbees the last 30 seconds and designed around that contingency.

Perhaps either the game could start with more frisbees on the field? perhaps 8 more on each side...along the walls.... this would allow a team to use those during the last 30 seconds...

Or, perhaps a better approach would be for 8 or some other number of frisbees to be tossed in from the side of the field by the resetters...

This would allow for better safety and still allow teams that planned on picking up frisbees during the end game to have them available.

I am not sure how this could be implemented but I think it could be done easily... especially starting with more on the floor. put four on each side of the center line against the wall.... for a total of 16 extra frisbees....8 each side.

Just a thought... trying to make it better for those teams that feel they have had their strategies compromised....

Good luck to all on the field...
