Re: Week 1 Action

After watching practice day at GSR I would like to stress the importance of the minibot and minibot deployment system. It seems like alot of teams (us included) put the minibot low down on the priority list. Today not many teams used the minibots.

We tryed to once and this happend, remember to secure your minibots!

Re: Week 1 Action

Here at Traverse City I saw a bunch of teams with minibot deployment systems. Hope to see them work tomorrow.

Re: Week 1 Action

Speaking of minibots, I noticed they were major game changers watching the NJ webcast. Not a lot of teams got them working, but quite a few matches were won because one team managed it.

I also wasn't expecting so many tubes to be thrown out on the field. Major disadvantage to human load only robots.
