Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

Here's what I saw while on a practice field yesterday. (disclaimers: We only had 4 robots on the field at once. There were only about 60 balls on the field)

1. Robots are going to have to score from close range (1-3 feet). Long range shooting does not look feasible.

2. Human players are not as effective as I thought past 10 feet or so.

3. The match looks like a soccer game played by 6 year olds at the beginning. If you've seen one, you know what I mean.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
