Just got home from the Traverse City, MI competition and it went well. Congrats to team 85, BOB and their alliance for the win. Thanks for choosing us as partners 904, and nice job 2188. With that being said, what were your thoughts/opinions one the whole match, those that attended? I thought all went well after the firmware update and WPA issues were resolved. We kept getting a WATCHDOG error on our bot thats, why we sat there motionless for like 3-4 matches. Dont know how or why that happened, and nobody really knew the answer either. I would like to bring up the scoring though. Dont take this as me saying, oh they scored badly, we should have won. But from my point of view, how the heck can the judges/volunteers keep score? The score changes on the board during the match, but how to the officials know how many balls are going into the trailer from that distance? Also, when they go to retrieve the balls, it seems as though there really is not much of an organized way to retrieve/add up the points. To me, it looked like every man for himself for the trailers just to empty them. Obviously, I may have no clue and am probably totally wrong about the whole issue. I was driving the whole time so I never had many opportunities to ask. What do you guys think about the scoring? What do you think about the whole thing? Like to hear everyone's opinions. Congrats everyone and Great Job!
