Re: What did it take to win a Week 1 Rebound Rumble match?

Another "Heads-up" to teams going in to competitions in the coming weeks regarding teams trying to get 2 or 3 robots onto a bridge when 1 fewer would decide a match...

We witnessed the other end of that situation in a critical elim match where a single robot balanced a bridge with some time to spare instead of going over to allow an alliance partner to join them. The match was decided by fewer than 10 points, meaning that additional robot would have been decisive.

Part of the problem...and the "Heads Up"...at the GKC regional, only the Blue Alliance Drive Teams were facing the projected score board and it took more of a concerted effort on the part of the Red Alliance to continue monitoring the scoreboard during the final seconds of the match. We had coaches monitoring the board but in the heat of battle, they weren't successful in conveying the message to the involved drivers that the additional robot was the only way of winning the match.
