Re: mobile goal ownership

Quote:
Some of these questions are best answered before you build your robot. I'm a big fan of knowing what I want my robot to do before I build it.
Most strategies go to pot when you actually run a few practice rounds anyway.

Here's an interesting question: Since I compulsively modelled the field for our 3D animation, I know that FIRST's pictures show the mobile goals always to the right of their respective color sides, looking toward the center of the field (see bad text diagram below)

------------------BLUE MOBILE GOAL----------------
RED PLATFORM CENTER PLATFORM BLUE PLATFORM
------------------RED MOBILE GOAL------------------

Will they always be set up in this order or could it be like this:

-------------------RED MOBILE GOAL----------------
RED PLATFORM CENTER PLATFORM BLUE PLATFORM
-------------------BLUE MOBILE GOAL----------------
