Re: Week 1: Robot Capability Poll

I won't vote because I just watched off and on at the web, but my sense from what I saw was:

Climb the ramp - 21-30%

Score in the Corner Goals - 21-30%

Score in the Middle Goal - <10%

Score during autonomous - <10%

There were a lot more robots who could theoretically do these tasks but not effectively and not in a match.

I am interested in what others who watched the VCU regional on the web thought and if those that actually attended had a much different opinion.

Ramp climbing is the strangest thing to me -- It is almost like teams didn't even thing about CG management this year at all. After so many ramps and steps from past years, this year's number of fallen robots (fallen even if nobody touched them) is a real surprise to me.
