The FIRST day...

[sevisehda]

I'd really like to here from people who were there and on the field, that view is always the best. Chances are they won't be on in mass until Sunday though.

It appears that except for knocking down the boxes noone does what they designed there bot to do. The stackers just push the crates around. I haven't seen a ramp-dom hold the ramp but I haven't seen any of the true ramp-doms in action yet notable the technokats, clarkson, and swampthing. I have noted a few teams trying to hold the ramp but they just get thrown out of the way.

I didn't see any teams trying to throw bins or drop them over the ramp. The most common thing was to plow them over the ramp or shove them into the dead-zone.

It seemed that the winner was the team who had the most of the robots on the ramp, and the decding factor was commonly the numbers of crates in there zone. The exception was when teams protected there human player stacks.
