Re: Week 4: So how's that Field Working?
As some of you have said, the scoring at WI was somewhat faulty [...scoring code, done dirt cheap!] but only during autonomous modes involving big shooters like 70, 494, 1103, 1625, and most notably, 111 who seemed to trigger a restart every match. The people manually scoring, however, did an excellent job (there were at least two crew members counting the balls entered on each goal).
In terms of field work, I know that our team was responsible for 1 or 2 powerful autonomous runs to the low goal which resulted in the lefthand side of each driver's station (position 1) being shifted backwards about 3 inches. After very regrettably causing damage to another team's elegant control system early Thursday morning (it flew off of the shelf and they were unable to catch it) in auton mode, we pulled our power back a bit in the same auton mode and were able to score goals very well. As far as I saw, the field was never "realigned" because of the immense amount of work involved in doing so, but this difference was negligible over the course of the competition.
