Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day
Soooo.... humans throwing discs over the player station at a target 54 feet away is a greater safety hazard than a 28" tall robot launching a disk using a flywheel spinning at 5000+ rpm? Huh?
How does limiting the amount of discs thrown in the last 30 seconds make this game any safer?
It seems to me a velocity restriction similar to the the one in 2006 would have been more appropriate.
This is a game changer.
Karthik,
I disagree with your comparison to 2012 in regards to shot percentages.
This years target is much larger than last years. The projectiles retain their form better and are more stable during flight. While your initial projections may be close I think you will see a marked improvement in percentages as the season progresses.
Time will tell.
