We found a strategic purpose to the stretcher while we were at UTC. Since FISRT had put our team in three consecutive groupings, and wqe broke down in the first of the three we were forced to use the stretcher or not feild a robot.
In our first round using the stretcher, we relized that we could put the stretcher oin the feild without a robot, and still get points. At first the FIRST officals said to us we couldnt but after checking the rules it states if the robot and or the stretcher is in the endzone they are each worth 10 pts. You dont have to use both. In fact it is more worth it to NOT put your machine out there and just the stretcher.
We ended up scoring 2 hundred something and moved alot higher up in the seeding rounds.
So an empty stretcher is something that you might consider using if there is a robot that can drag it.
