Re: [OCCRA]: what you thought of today

The Game and Kit committee was very pleased at the result of the game.

What we liked the best was the fact that teams did not have any penalties - I forgot that I had flags in my pocket.

Only 1 time did I talk to a team about watching their action as they bumped into another robot with a head of steam. They understood my position and the next match were great.

Only 1 thing I would ask teams to improve on ........

When you set the robot down - TURN IT ON! - just a plain rookie mistake made by many teams.

Each year the quality of the robots improve as the teams get a learning base of students teaching students and passing on their robot building skills.

It is my hope that as the season matures that all robots will continue to improve - I know my team is working every day on improvements - hard to get them to go home - they really enjoy this educational activity.

Good luck to all teams, keep up the great work.
