Re: An Inconceivable shot from beyond half court.

The GoPro's have their own plexy case, so not likely to become floor trash in a match. Especially if you can mount in a concave area of the bot. There aren't so many balls flying around near the bot that it would be taken out that way. But we saw many top-heavy tip overs where another bot's upper assembly could give you a heavy smacking on a bridge.

These matches are extremely intense. I was standing behind the driver on the field and didn't even realize we'd made this fantastic double shot.

Field-level visibility was an element that we definitely under appreciated. Balancing goes pretty well when you only have a 15 foot tether and sit the driver right in front of the bridge profile. ...now try it again from the far side of the bridge from a driver station straight in line with the bridge. You tip the bridge and lose all visibility of your bot. ...unless your driver is about 8.5 feet tall.
