Re: 3-3
Well, although the randomizer truly randomly sets the trackballs, here is food for thought!
Whats the chance that in a match prior to yours, the balls will be in exactly the same place?
Well, FYI, I kept track of just about every match when we were queued and watched where the balls were prior to our match. Only twice in three regionals did the ball end up in the same place. I'm talking about just our ball.
The reason we were tracking them was due to the fact that our ball knocker during hybrid could hit it if the ball was in front of us. We always tried then to put the robot in position where the ball wasn't in the previous match.
So rather than having a 1/3 chance, we were hoping for > 1/3 chance to have it in front of us.
I know you cant count on it, but what the heck, it was worth a shot, and it didnt hinder our alliance from doing what they wanted in hybrid.
Now we only tried it if our alliance partners couldnt knock the ball off and/or didnt move in hybrid.
