Re: 2014 Lessons Learned: The Negative

Having consistent judging, by being in Week 2 and 3 Regionals then watching the Champs, the way the judging and calls were made compared to each other I thought wasn't fair. We lost matches because of unclear calls and even waiting for a Volunteer to get a ball that went out of the field back to the human player. Not that it actually was based off of this observation, but after Week 3 they added a rule about violent ramming into other robots, which I think was brought in after Woodie Flowers came and watched KC where some teams were hitting others pretty hard when they didn't need to for any necessary reasons that I could say. So the volunteers and judges having a handle on how to rule the game early on could be improved somehow.
