Re: Observations First Day of Matches

Today at BAE, there were several robots who did not have autonomous modes. VERY BAD MOVE!! They were half full by the end of autonomous and were reasonably full by the end of the match without much scoring by robots. Another observation is that many human players were not concerned with their practice, but became distracted by their robot on the field, and left lots of balls behind the wall out of the field. This should change by tomorrow with the competition starting for real. Another note that surprised me was that many teams spent the time handling the empty cells, rather than spending more time scoring on other robots.

OH ya, dumpers are very affective. 121 has been leading the pack in NH.

Good luck to all teams this weekend!
