Re: Assuming a 3 vs 3

I'm just starting to envision the Autonomous pile-ups, and un-intentional pinning, tangling. Heh, 6 robots roaming about the field on their own. So with that thought in your mind, now you see the need for a few very good autonomous modes. Not just 1 that goes back and forth etc., since the field variables just increased exponentially - not to mention 6 possible starting points.

A 3vs3 on 1 field just seems like too much. I'm still going with the 2 hex fields competing against each other against the clock. It just seems so much more do-able. Especially considering the thread Steve quoted there, that Dave suggested smaller bots/

Although I just noticed that the Great Lakes regional had 1 field last year and 60 teams. This year they capped registration at 60 teams again... so that puts a hole in my other theory.

After looking at this thread and considering all the possibilities, I'm hoping for a 2vs2. Not like the past hasn't been challenging enough....
