Re: Week 0 Discussion
We had a small practice event with out 10 teams from SW Michigan today. Only one pair of bots tried the drawbridge, with one putting it down from the other side and then backing through with the other bot following.

Our bot had no problem hitting the high goal, but only from one spot. Our cameras get in on Monday so that should help. I don't think we will have a problem with the high goal.

Had 2 of the bots leave scattered parts all over the field as wheels and gears shattered coming down off the moat or rough terrain.

We had a issue with starting to turn before our robot "landed" from launching itself over an obstacle. If we hit and begun our turn before the from landed we'd end up sliding sideways.

Our top match was 72 points, and that is with one of the robots missing a major component and without cameras. I'm thinking week 1 will be higher than anyone expects and not like previous years.
