Re: Week 1 Analysis
A few things.
#1: At Centerline, many teams came to us saying our field balls were over inflated. After spending lunch measuring every balls three times, they came out to ~25" diameter. There seems to be a discrepancy between the field balls and teams balls, but they are the right size, atleast at centerline.
#2: There needs to be a ramp of some sort on the overhang above the drivers. I can't tell you how many times the ball got stuck up there, and without having a pole of some sort to get it down, Field Reset has to run in there and dislodge it with their hands, completely disrupting the drivers.
#3: What 1023 and 1718 said was completely true. I saw so many penalties that made no sense I was amazed. Tech Fouls either need to be lower points, or the system needs an overhaul to help protect the offensive robots. This year seems to be going in the complete opposite way that past years have been. Instead of protecting scorers for an excited match, defensive robots are aloud to go ham with very few repercussions. This has nothing to do with the proficiency of refs but everything to do with them having way too much on their plate to do.
