 ..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. - Donut [more] |

Potential Problem with "fighting over the goal"
Team 121 and Team 69 squared off today at a tug-of-war with the goal. We noticed that after that there were several burned holes in 69's carpet. And to top it off the wheels on both teams weren't as aggressive as others I see.
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pi...rrow=4&trows=3 And the rules are specific not to destroy the any part of the field, including the carpet. Could the judges see this, something that will be very common, as a DQ act? Unless FIRST has some type of stronger commercial carpet, which I doubt, this could be a problem.

At the Washington, DC 'Play Date' at the National Building museum, several teams left tire marks(including ours) on the field. I didn't totice any burn marks, however. Do you mean that the tires acually wore through the carpet? Or there are friction burns?
Is the pic gonna be in the field pics?

As Far as I remember the little sections of the carpet were completely stripped off to see only the white stuff that hold the carpet together.

sure wait til the big robot leaves before you have a tug of war.
If you noitice the track system will not damage the rug at all so I see it that if your wheels are damaging the rug that is agaisnt the rules.
