What we find out during the qualifying rounds is that playing a game within 1.5 minutes is a good rule of thumb when planning the game.

This will give teams a good 2x multiplier, while every robot can take their time working out the game...

You can never be too careful when planning for qualifying rounds, because a lot of times robots will take more time then the coach claims. If people claims to do certain things in 20 seconds, then you should at least add 5~10 seconds to that.

Accidents happen in the field all the time, and that's just the way games are going to be. So, you want to pay full attention during the game, as well as watching for the accidents that's waiting to happen.

For example, when two robot are going through the bridge as the same time, you should keep in mind that the front robot tends to fall on its face if it's moving too fast. So the coaches should call out to the drivers in advance about slowing down and doing it carefully...
