Re: What hath we wrought? 2016 Horror Stories

Among all the carnage this years game produced, there were a couple things that made me smile, and a couple that made me cringe!
Who will ever forget the "Pole Wars"?


I witnessed a Defence attack a volunteer. I saw it roll up and smash her fingers right in front of me before I even had time to react. (Sorry, no pictures for that one. This is not the place for that.)

Auto was fascinating this year! While some teams were "grinding" out two ball Auto, others took a slightly more aggressive approach! More power, all the time! I saw more Driver's Stations on the ground this year than ever before!
I even saw one team that missed the memo that "Robots are NOT Points!"





This is where they ended up during Auto, and this is where they stayed all match.

This year's game was brutal for both Robots and the field it's self.
If you had a design flaw, this game would find it and show it to you, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE!!
