Re: Observations after week !

My observations from week 1 (at BAE):

A good human player is worth gold. Conversely a bad human player, especially one who doesn't know the rules, is detrimental to the entire alliance.

Dumper robots, especially fast dumpers, are deadly.

Pinning a robot does almost nothing unless your alliance can score on the pinned robot.

A dead, or no show, robot is almost guaranteed loss for that alliance.

The field control system still has a lot of bugs to work out. There were a ton of replayed matches at BAE.

Always keep moving, a stopped robot is nothing more than a target.

The regolith curls up on the edges. Our ball pickup is 3/4" above the surface and caught the regolith.

Supercells need to be planned.
