Re: Lessons Learned - The Negative

I like how they did continue holding the practice rounds, because if everything is working, then all you should be doing is practicing as much as possible. But for just testing something quickly, you could not get on the field. I wanted to test something on Friday 1 hour before the pits closed, but I couldn't because they were holding practice matches that you had to be signed up in advance for.

Practice rounds are great, but a testing field also needs to be somewhere. Something like what I saw at the Las Vegas regional would be great (maybe bigger though).

Rewriting autonomous code without regolith is pretty much impossible if you want the robot to do something other than go straight for 15 seconds.
