I've thought of this as well. I think teams will need to somehow divide up the practice session in terms of working with the goals. When we have our practice sessions, I'll probably talk to the other teams to see if we can divide the round up into 4 2.5 minute segments. We'll see how this works.

: So, I was sitting here thinking about things, and I thought of something (imagine that!). How do you guys think the practice rounds are gonna be like at the various events. I mean, think about it, lets say FIRST puts 4 teams on the field at a time, like normal, but 3 of those four robots balances 2 goals, or tries to. So, when it comes time for the practice round, are all those teams going to fight over who actually gets to use the two goals? Also, Imagine one robot is doing something on the bridge, while another robot needs to get over to the other side of the playing field, wel, if they are not a limbo bot, they are out of luck, and will just have to wait, or send people out to move the robot over the barrier. Am I wrong here?

: P.S. At FIRSTROBOTICS.net, there are a total of 58 robots on there already. This is more than 10% of the teams this year, and the final ship date for everyone was only yesterday. You can tell this year isn't as competitive already.
