Re: Week 1 Analysis

I agree with everyone else here that the issues of the balls bouncing out and the refs not catching all the assists and fouls is a big problem. With that said you need to have someone paying attention to the whole match so in case you lose for a reason you shouldn't have you can go and discuss it with the head ref.

Another pet peeve of mine for this year is seeing alliances playing matches with only two robots. This is totally unacceptable in my opinion. In past years you could get away with this because all you needed was one strong robot to win it. But now with the addition of assist points the third team is very vital which is why I believe that unless your robot is totally disabled and not even able to move, you HAVE to get your robot out to the field to help play defense and help in the assist process. Obviously this will not be such an issue come later weeks but to not go out for a qualification match at all just irritates me.
