Re: Week 1: Thoughts, comments
Has anyone at any of todays Regionals done an analysis of the match results with respect to the which alliance is on defence during the second period?
I would like to know if more winning alliances start on defence during the second period. From the match results posted on the FIRST website it is impossible to analyze this.
I watched some of the VCU webcasts today and found it quite difficult to follow what robot was on offence and defence at any given time due to the camera shots, etc. The cameras seemed to focus a lot close up on the pushing matches rather than show a wide angle view of the whole field.
It seems to me that it should be a significant advantage to be on defence during the second period so that you can collect as many balls
as possible to score while on offence during the third period. The fourth period seems to be a real battle ground with relatively low ball scoring and a majority of the period spent climbing/defending the ramp. Besides the obvious point advantage of winning autonomous is there a real strategic advantage to winning autonomous and therefore going on defence/ball collection mode first?
I guess what I am asking is what are the percentages of winning alliances that are on defence vs. offence during the second period (the first one after autonomous)?
