Re: How on Earth are spectators meant to easily discern who wins?
I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling that FIRST thought that with 6 robots on the field, the scores would be higher, so they lowered the scoring points and left the penalties the same. In their minds, this probably would have evened out the scores. However, getting good scores turned out to be harder than they thought. They couldn't change the rules so they let it go. So we have a very low scoring game and the penalties, which would have been good for previous years' scores, are now over excessive. To have 5 or more points for capping would have mad the scoring better. But I don't think teh people that made this game knew how hard it would be to get decient scores. Previous years, good (non-penilized scores) would be about 50 and great ones would be above 100. This year, good (non-penilized scores) are about 10 and great ones are above 20. Like I keep on saying, it's not that they made huge penilites, but that the regular scores are much lower.
