Re: Pre-Stop Build Scrimmages - What Have We Learned So Far?
A lot of things I saw today; Only 1 robot had a floor pickup mechanism and very rarely used it. The last 30 seconds there were quite a few Frisbees on the field & a frenzy of Frisbees flying everywhere from the HPers. The nets did have to be raised higher up to protect the scoring table. They will need to add additional netting at events on the ends to protect crowds & any audio/visual personnel & equipment. The net opening where teams enter/exit will have to be modified so robots don't catch the drooping netting. there were issues today & we came up with a temporary fix. FIRST has been made aware & hopefully will provide a solution for week 1. Numerous robots were able to rise to the 10 point level during the last 30 seconds.
