Re: Real vs. Theory, Week 0.5

My takeaways watching the streams... Just my far away observations

1. Low scoring for the most part (30-70), with most points via breaching defenses along the way
2. Lots and lots of dead, stalled stuck bots
3. Lots of penalties
4. Auto points disappointing, best seemed to be 3 crossing (30) very rare
5. Scaling rare and many tried and failed, only a handful of really good ones
6. Hard to crack 100
7. Very hard to Capture the castle (only happened in eliminations)
8. Lots of bots seemed "confused" and lots and lots of misses on goals.
9 Wheeled bots getting stuck on defenses
10. Bad time management at end many missed challenges (5 points)
11. Climbers can crash on bots below, and bad time management as running out of time to climb.
12. Not much defense played until Eliminations.

As a side note impressed by the bots that could score HG while being harassed..I was surprised by that since the defense driver has way better vision and "should" be able to knock a bot off course

In all it was well played considering it was first competition up, we compete next weekend so I'll give some firsthand insight after next week. Glad Palmetto gave us some insights.
