Team 971 made a couple of attempts at SVR, and got close to picking up the
vision tetra a couple of times. Part of the problem was their camera got smashed early Friday, so they only actually had the camera working for about 4 or 5 matches. (In a act of gracious professionalism, another local team not at SVR, donated their camera, and a mentor drove across town Friday to get it.)

According to conversation I had with the team members, they could cap a center goal in practice, but only in 19 to 20 seconds. Fifteen was just too short a time interval. Another note two of the team members on 971 (and the ones responsible for programming) are FLL graduates, and have been involved since 2000.


If any one does this at Nats, it will be great, but the refs probably will be dumbfounded about awarding the bonus tetras, since nobody has any experience in this area!
