Stop Posting About Negative Scores

You know it's not going to happen and it's getting quite annoying because there are sooo many topics about it. Focus on the robot and let first fix the rules.

But dont you agree that the current rules are way too copmlex. Tell me in 1 sentace what an SHU is. While it added a twist to gamplay when they rounded up, now it just seems as if the are covering tail for a bad idea, as opposed to just scrapping it.

Please take a look at the revised petition in my sig. Due to an error im my calculations(caused by screwy scoring system), I realized that negative points are very unlikely,so i removed all referances to them. Take a look, It has a 1LINE scoring system for boxes, that leaves nothing to interpritation.

It's the biggest pile of blocks that your robot isn't touching and is in the scooring area. What is so hard about that??

Thats a "stack" not an "SHU". I'm using their terms. Also, that is no longer the definition of a stack. It is now as per team update 3 "the tallest legal point/place/location in a scoring zone".Folowed by a page of leagalese.

now, i'll say it again, what is an SHU?

Ooo thats easy its the height of the block when it is right side up. 14 3/4" I believe. If you had a stack of 4 blocks right side up then it would be a shu of 4.

Actualy 14.75. but that is not the point. Why should it be based on the height as opposed to the number of boxes in the stack?

SHU is a unit of measurement to determine the multiplier, the multiplier is determined by measuring the height of the tallest container in a teams scoring area that is not being touched by the scoring teams robot.

because that wouldn't allow for "interesting and subtle consequences"...

i wouldn't have a problem with the scoring if they would change the virtual stack rule.

I feel sorry for the judges, and for the spectators this year. FIRST has always strived for excellence, and year after year...have tried to make the game easier on everybody...but this year was different, or so we thought. Everything started out great...nice and easy to understand, then these radical and pointless rules were introduced, making this game confusing, and potentially causing teams to have to change their strategy or even have to scrap the designs for their robots.



FIRST, Mr. Kamen, Mr. Flowers and all those brilliant individuals who make FIRST so great for all of us, please, hear the voices of the young adults involved with your amazing program, and help us, make this game easy to understand and play!

Don't you find it annoying that there are about 5 topics carrying on about the same thing. I'm not telling people to stop discussing it. I'm telling them to stop posting new topics about the same thing. The whole portal when I opened it up today had almost all the topics about negative scores. Isn't that a little bit to excessive when all you need is one topic??

What I find funny is no matter how many times the rules have been scoured and it's been proven there's absolutely no likelyhood of negative scores HAPPENING, and even though it COULD, but WILL NOT, people are still posting about it and talking about how horrible things are.

Hey Aubry, Isn't it ironic that in telling Wysiswyg not to tell others what to post or not, you are telling him what not to post?

I'm not complaining about negative scores, but the game has quickly grown to be very complex and hard to follow.
