Re: Robot Cool Down Period...?

I would definitely like to a standardized time between matches for the eliminations round.

In one case in Detroit, we had to make a program change because our arm was loose on the set screws - but they started our next match too quickly - perhaps 4 minutes after our last one ended.

We ran that match in manual, and during the match our opponent damaged his arm. Then, in between, before we got to play our final match (we were tied one-one) they had everyone doing line dancing on the field.

Gracious Professionalism says I should probably keep my mouth shut - but I have to admit it was frustrating for them to get the time (though accidental) to fix their arm when we didn't have the time to fix ours in the previous matchup.

Standardize it at whatever time you like to make it fair - short or long. It just needs to be consistent.
