Re: "Robot Access Periods"
I will be 100% honest: I have yet to go through a robot access period (as most teams in New England and PNW can attest) and even I have been sketchy on the rule the whole time since it never applied to us.
That being said, from a big picture perspective, I see it as the old "Thursday" for Regionals (Man, that sounded weird) sans inspection (which is now the night before the District Event) and practice matches. Do what you need to do in your 6 hours to be ready for the event.
Since we are Week 3 (WPI) and Week 4 (Bryant University), I would consider re-approaching our mechanism if need be. I hope to be very modular with our mechanism if we decide "we'll go this way, but if it doesn't work, we can try the other", and making sure Auto works as best you can make sure it works at your build facility.
