Re: Week 2: So how's that Field Working?
My experience with the field at UTC:
Ok, so on thursday we didnt get a single practice run in do to our robot being 10 pounds overweight. We got it fixed thursday night and today we had more stuff break.
But all that doesnt matter, we got about 3 rounds on the field today, 1 of which we got a dq for.
heres what happened:
We had 2 and 1/4 inch bumpers on our robot, and the driver decided that we should go for the lower goal. We drove up to the goal, but our shooting mechanism had an error we ended up pushing balls in. Now to the fun part, when we pushed in, we rammed it with full speed, bending the plexi-glass and triggering the light sensor, we dumped a few more balls, and rammed it again. At the end of the round we all sat and wondered why the score for our alliance was up in the 200 range. Then we got disqualified for "intentionally" getting our robot in the light sensor. I dont think that we deserved the DQ, but oh well. Other than that I saw control of the robots on the field go out a few times and 1 match restart. I was in the pit getting yelled at most of the day so I didnt really watch much.
