Re: Week 1: Thoughts, comments
I'm wanting to know more about the ramp. I read here that usually 1 or 2 robots per alliance make it up, but with trouble. Are the 5 extra points really worth that 10 seconds? Do most teams at least try for it, or are they scoring to the bitter end and ignoring it like the behind the line bonus from last year? Are there many robots that fall over whiling trying to get up the ramp like expected?
Couple other questions...
- Do defense robots nest next to the corner goals like everyone has been speculating?
- What is the normal strategy for free for all period? Is there more scoring or defense?
- Are comebacks often from alliances that don't win autonomous mode?
- how hard really is it to tell if your on offense or defense if you are the drivers/coach/hp?
I am going to try to catch more matches tomorrow, I have to go to a friend's house with the NASA channel. Good luck to all teams, thanks to everyone in advance.
