Highest Score Seen in week 1?

Just a quick question- what's okay and not okay to do during a practice match?

Last year when we practiced we sometimes climbed the wrong pyramid (on purpose of course) and we never had an issue, until our last regional, where our poor drive team got yelled at.

Can we just load balls like crazy, or is that not okay?

My suggestion would be to discuss it with the other robots gonna be out on the field. Make sure everyone's cool with whatever. Communication is your friend.

Don't worry about too much, I would just avoid aggressive defense, and committing G40s

That's what we did on practice day at Alamo, we just told the teams and the refs that we were planning to do that. The refs were usually fine with it but they made is stick to the rules for the last couple of hours of the day. (I assume to make sure teams didn't get used to grabbing balls whenever they wanted) I think that other regionals are likely to be similar.

Don't worry about it, it's not an issue. Be prepared for an insane teleop though, it gets very very difficult.

They also let you load more auto balls than allowed. We ran multiple matches we were with someone else and we both ran a 2 ball auto.
