Re: Week 5 Impressions of the Rack. The Conclusion of the Games.
As a whole I think FIRST did very well this season. The field control system ran very smoothly (better than I've ever seen), and aside from a flaw in the initial design of the matching algorithm there have been no problems with any of the software this year.
It's interesting that the number of ramp and arm bots at a competition can affect that drastically what the winning strategy is; in the past the types of robots determined offense vs. defense, but nothing on the scale of what has happened this year.
Atlanta will certainly be interesting; I hope there's alot offense, but who knows what will happen.
