Go to Post I am just very happy that I have never been responsible for the spelling of Karthik's last name on a name tag. Seriously. - JaneYoung [more]

Never before have I seen a game piece launched by a robot blow the polycarb window out of the drivers' station wall. So... congratulations?

Congratulations on a spectacular violation of G10 and possibly G11, and special thanks for a reminder of why we wear safety glasses.

IIRC there is one spare piece of polycarb per field, so best to not do this twice.

It seems that the closer you are to changing possession, the easier it will be. It will also be difficult to keep some parts of the robot in the playing area when the 20 inch projections are near. It will be imperative for the drive team to really pay attention to this.

Our robot did pretty well compared to the other 8 or so robots that participated, but ours was also the most complete. We also had a practice bot going to help determine our drive team, doing as much as possible in the little time we had. Catching will be difficult if there is any defense on the bot, and other robots running 'accidentally' into your ball looks like it could be frequent with 3 bots on the field. It was good to see what could happen out on the field, and it was nice to read about what other issues were seen at more complete regionals. Thanks for sharing!
There is nothing against the rules for hitting your opponents ball on purpose once, as long as you don't chase the ball down and continue to do it.

Re: Week Zero Discussion/Impressions/Discoveries/Fun Facts

I was wondering if anyone had any recordings of a week 0 match with a view of the full field in action (kind of like what FiM does with the fisheye). I'd like to use a match of this year's game to help train our scouts on what to look for when watching matches. I can use the fish-eye lens view from previous FiM matches to explain in general what to look out for, but a video of this year's game in action will help much more.
