Re: Petition: Lower technical foul values to make this game better
Things have actually improved. Those "more experienced" teams should remember LOGOMOTION. Fouls for touching things in the middle of the field.
First had to issue a special update that you could not use a foul strategy to win. Warning: Previous years rules have nothing to do with this years game. From Logomotion update 16 Quote:

I believe that SOMETHING needs to be done about these technical fouls. My team just got back from Gull Lake district event, and it was terrible. Just about every match was decided by foul points. My team racked up 100 points in fouls and we honestly didn't do anything to cause the fouls. This was a seriously unfair call, but I'm not going to go into detail on it, but it was completely unfair. Every other match there was 2 or so fouls and it's very hard to recover from them, especially because of this games nature...

If every other team was called for the same offense, after committing it in the same way, it's not an unfair call. It's only unfair if it is called differently for one or two teams than for the rest of the teams. |

Thanks for all the candid and professional commentary here.
Here is our next step:
I have collected 24 feedbacks since last night. 19 Yes (changes required, different types) and 5 No (no changes to existing rules) Will provide summary updates as I progress. Thanks again for taking the time. [ Disclaimer: this issue has not affected 610 too much one way or the other. We have a relatively experienced group and should be able to handle different types of rules. However, I really feel for new and old teams who get to play only once a year: 1468 teams (53.0%).. Imagine you are not a regular participant at champs, spent 6 weeks of sweat building a good robot, worked hard to fund raise to play about 10-15 matches; ended up losing important matches because of 50pt G40, G28 or others that are inconsequential, unintentional fouls that have little safety implications? The stats are clear. ONE tech foul would swing the results of 59% of final matches. It's not too late to prevent FIRST from losing students/mentors who otherwise would have loved this game and continue to love this thing called #omgrobots. ] Last edited by billylo : 12-03-2014 at 09:35. |
