Week 1 Analysis

[eddie12390]

I don't want to call out a specific team, but there are instances such as match 34 at the Auburn Mountainview District Event where a robot blantantly stuck it's arm ~15 inches into the low goal multiple times. It doesn't seem like certain penalties are even being watched for due to the complexity of keeping track of things like assists while watching for other penalties.

I was wondering about that also, is there anything that specifies that a team must throw the ball to score it? What if a team were to decide that they wanted to bounce a ball into the high goal?
