We won match #3 and were puzzled why we never got the "W." Our teammates did and we didnt. We actually won 8 matches since we had to play 9 total.
I like playing more matches. However, I think all regionals should have practice times start later and finish later, allowing teams that travel farther to put their robot together in a more relaxed fashion. Local teams bring their tools, thus packing only their robot with a few items. We have always had to take apart quite a bit of our robot in order to fit tools, parts, etc. since we cant afford to bring them all on a plane.
Congrats on your award!! You certainly deserve it.
Thanks.
Check 9.3.2 of the rules, the surrogate match is stuck in there. A lot of people missed the change of the surrogate from their last to their third match, we had several teams come ask us about that.
I think I like the idea about shifting practice matches later in the day, but need to think about it some more. I'm still not fully recovered yet.
