The specialized lap-running bots (don't have their #s, the webcast quality wasn't good enough to read them) typically got about 7 laps. That's pretty good considering it isn't entirely likely that an opposing robot will get the 2 hurdles needed to offset that. Even the uberbots above said they averaged 2 hurdles in a match.
Actually, we had an average of about 3 hurdles per match, maybe slightly more. we only had two matches with < 3 hurdles.

Also in some test runs today, we learned the importance of the autonomous mode... we got a maximum score of 32 points in a single run today. Considering that most matches at suffield averaged about that, that is a huge amount of points.

8 points this year is like 20 last year.
