Re: Week 3 analysis

I only really remember 1 instance of the pedestal not lighting up at Mt. Vernon this past weekend. It was in Match 44, where the red alliance's pedestal wasn't lit for about 45 seconds after the previous ball was scored. That match was replayed after the rest of the qualifications were over.

The one thing I did notice though was 3 assists not always being awarded for a cycle. It particularly annoyed me when the third assist wasn't given to the robot in the third zone, when they scored the ball... and especially if those 20 points were the difference in the match. The Human player in bounds to robot 1, 1 assist. Robot 1 passes to robot 2, robot 2 goes into the white zone, 2 assists. Robot 2 throws over the truss, robot 3 collects it in the third zone and scores, but no third assist...

Also there were a number of instances of G12 at Mt. Vernon, at times it even seemed to be easier to have possession of an opponents ball than your own ball... bumping an opponents ball seemed to often give a G12 whereas bumping your own ball didn't give you an assist. Unintentional "Bulldozing," an act specifically mentioned in the manual as not qualifying as possession of an opponents ball, was once called for a G12... idk, seemed a bit excessive.
