Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)
Just to recap what I said earlier - that the Red Alliance should own up to their claim that they could achieve a 60-point cycle in 8 seconds, since that is, to me - un-GP, in the sense that it is unrealistic and eventually led to the Blue Alliance losing instead of winning.
I also said I was waiting to hear from someone on the Red Alliance to make up my mind. Thankfully, a member of one of the Red Alliance teams (who chooses to remain annonymous at this time) did PM me with their view/explanation of the situation. To quote the OP: Quote:
It is further explained to me that the Red Alliance believed they could score 60 points in that time frame (full cycle/catchless cycle and additional truss shot/ ect.) of 25-30 seconds, which is actually something that makes much more sense to me. It is ALSO said, and again - this is from this team member - that the ref's initally were AGAINST a rematch, based on the 8 second delay. Once the Red Alliance claimed that they have video evidence of the delay being 25-30 seconds, the ref's decided to involve FIRST HQ (DISCLAIMER: The video exists, it seems - they were not just claiming for fun. Also, it is also claimed that the video was never shown, only stated to exist). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I now have both POVs, and honestly ... it's REALLY confusing. What is obvious - is that this game continues to be a big problem rules-wise, which is a true shame, since at the high levels of the game - it has a lot of potential, as we have seen in various regionals/districts. Lastly, if indeed the above is how things transpired: It's not like I accused them outright (I was waiting for a reply from them), but just to clear the air, I'd like to apologize to the students and mentors of the Red Alliance. |
