Re: Week 2: So how's that Field Working?

And yes I agree with Joe lets please not let this thread become moderated.
Yep, I definitely saw scores of 520 during one practice match. The scoring system appears to be working pretty flawlessly. The field in general is pretty nice. Some robots really killed the balls, and others didnt even leave a mark on them. As for the upper goals, we didnt have a problem with them falling out, but they would get jammed and then not go down at all...until someone reached up and banged on it some. I dunno how thats gonna work out tomorrow, but i'm sure its something that will be addressed at the drivers meeting. If not, I intend on bringing that question up.

EDIT: There were also other scoring errors. In one match, only one team dumped balls, but the end of autonmous score was 21 and they only dumped 10....the system counted an extra ball through the corner goal.
