Re: 2005 FRC Team Update 13

did you see the part about match scheduling?
Quote:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION on: Match scheduling
In the game of Triple Play, because there are 6 teams on the field at once, the scheduling of matches is significantly more difficult. In addition, in previous years we have noticed that there have been cases where a team may not be on the field with one team at all, but encounter another multiple times. In order to maximize your exposure to other teams, we have implemented a new match-scheduling algorithm. While this algorithm has significantly improved performance, it does allow some matches to be scheduled relatively close together. There may be cases where your team has a match that is 12 minutes after the end your previous match. Please make sure your robot and drivers can be ready to play in this time interval. Although 12 minutes may seem like a short time, if you are fortunate enough to make it to the finals, you will have only 4 minutes to be ready to play again. Also note that 12 minutes is a minimum. In general your recovery time between matches will be much longer.
Good to know for strategy. And props to whoever made the algorithm.
