Re: What will FRC 2016 Stronghold be remembered by?

This game will be remembered as getting on that batter in the last 20 seconds. While it sounds simple enough, many teams would have won a match, but failed to get all of their teammates on the batter so they ended up losing. You could outplay the opponents the entire match and lose it all in the last second if your scaling mechaism disconnects or you get stuck on a broken game element (RIP Newton Alliance 3 semifinal 2). This was probably my least favorite part about this game. Also, excessive red card pulling. They clearly stated at the Drivers Meeting that the tip had to be intentional to be a penalty. They said something along the lines that if two robots go at each other and one tips over because they are top heavy, there is no penalty. But yet we saw it called time and time again.
