scoring problems
(BTW this is not meant to be read as an angry, hate message but more as an informant to what can and probably will happen)
Alright so during our final quarterfinal match our flag was ripped off. The flag pole didnt fall off but the flag itself was on the floor. Apparently the lap counter too was unplugged. So now the judges completely stopped scoring our laps.
Now our robot is a lap bot, we are able to get 8-11 laps in a match and thats all we do. The flag was ripped off and our lap scoring ended at 2 laps. The final score was 54-70. We only needed 8 more laps to have a tie and i don't know how many we got until a video comes out but yea.
Sadly we didnt relize this till the final semi-finals match when someone brought it up and we didnt have video evidence to say that we hadn't lost the match...
This isn't right... Our alliance suffered because the flag had been through too much rough play and hadn't been repaired suffciently. Also the judges could have manualy counted the laps which they did for us in one of our early qualifying matches when our lap counter came loose.
Whats done is done i know... i just wanted to bring it up in hopes that this mistake will not happen again. And i don't think this would have changed the outcome of the Wisconsin Regional. The winning alliance did an amazing job. (And my personal congrats to C.O.R.E)
