Re: Lesson Learned: The Negative

I don't know. It is really fairly simple to build the kit bot so that it could at least be controllable, thereby avoiding the dreaded G22. One thing that I always can;t quite understand is the seemingly large number of robots at championship that can do nothing more than drive around or some of which that can't even drive around effectively.

I did think that there was still a ton of defense including ramming. We were a very good shooter and at times we were being defended against by 2 robots at a time both of which were ramming us repeatedly without trying to keep the ball from us. One time in the match I'm talking about a team rammed us so hard that they compressed our ball enough that when it decompressed it flipped them leaving us still standing. The refs were also fairly inconsistent about calling interfering with a hurdle. I know there were a couple times when we were hit rather hardly while our shooter was raised in our home zone and we were driving toward the overpass to hurdle.

Overall though I loved this game. It was probably one of the most fun times I've ever had. I thought they did an awesome job at the Georgia Dome keeping everything under control especially considering the tornado damage.
