Re: First Week Regionals *Merged*
--at PEACHTREE--
Auto/Human Loader – The human loader was more popular at Peachtree. among the better bots, auto/human were both used. very few used auto only
Stack High vs. Stack Fast - fast. the highest i remember was about 4 and that did not happen often. it was more impt to own a row
Strong/Fast Bots - fast was only useful to get back to the side in time for 10 pts, but strong was best because alot of robots played defense and if the robot wasn't strong, it didn't stand a chance
Autonomous Mode - i recall only one robot that actually found a vision tetra...but it did nothing afterward. most just brought the robot out and raised the arm. there was one team that capped with the starting tetra in auto mode and maybe a handful that got the hanging tetra. it was really boring actually.
6 Robots on the field - there was space but i didn't like it personally. there was too much luck (on alliance matchups) involved
Robot Damage - robots received alot of damage towards the end...things got rough but not out of control. one team's motor exploded and another team's bot started smoking. but other than that, nothing major
Scores - scores ranged ALOT. there were 0-0 ties and scores like 81-10. then, there were matches that were 26-25...it really depended. alot of times we noticed that penalties taht should have been called weren't...but there's only so much you can pay attention to with 6 bots on the field
