Re: GP, Ramming, and Practice

If you want to play defense then play it by herding a buch of balls fromthe floor or the Human player. From a programmers stand point thursday is very important. Programmers need to see what the robot is doing in order to change it. If we are continuously rammed or pushed around (even in a way that is totally legal) then it is difficult to tell if every thing is working.

It is extremely important to atleast have your early practice matches. If every thing goes well and all the robots in a match are working then all 6 partners can decide to play it just like it would really be played. Practice day is for tweaking, you need to let teams do that.
