Re: Observations First Day of Matches

As part of 121 and the operator of the robot i would say that today's practice was great at BAE. It gave plenty of time for us to practice and having the fast pass was great. It was very clear to us that maneuverability would play a big role in the game. If you could not score or were loading balls you had to keep a look out. For teams that were not moving or caught in a "charlie foxtrot" they were like sitting ducks and very easy targets. The power dumpers seemed to be more effective than the turret designs. Also our traction control was amazing and allowed us to easily weave in and out as to not get caught up in a mess. I would say our driver Brad Mello did an excellent job driving and seemed to enjoy chasing team 20 around the field for a few matches. All in all the practice day was fantastic with only minor rule, field, and control problems.
