Real week 1 update for you.

Can you give some more details on how the AndyMark tread drive was broken? Was is only the drive pulleys, and if so were the breaks similar to what is discussed here?

Yes the middle pulleys disintegrated we ended up replacing four of them because that is what Andy Mark sent as replacements ahead of our first competition. They ordered eight more overnight yesterday. We should have them by CV next week.

It lasted about 4 games before they failed, happened in game.

The comment about defense crossings was intriguing.

an act performed by a ROBOT, such that it starts free of contact with an opponent DEFENSE and completely in the NEUTRAL ZONE, traverses the DEFENSE such that its BUMPERS go fully between the adjacent SHIELDS/GUARDRAIL, and ends up fully contained by the opponent’s COURTYARD

Are those 8 attempts crosses according to the manual or did you do something like driving back and forth over it 4 times without completely exiting the outer works every time?

If you did make 8 crosses according to the manual definition of a cross that would mean you had to actually go across the defense 16 times. It's just a frightening concept. Are you sure you're fully crossing and making it obvious?

We went over same defense 8 times total (not 16) clearing it each time in order to register two lights out....contributed to a failed a RP twice. Yes we cleared the defense each time. Its frustrating, seemed to get better after we lodged an inquiry. Happened earlier in games then we did not have an issue later.


My suggestion if it happens to your team stay on the field until its resolved. They said they could not change it after the fact.

We petitioned but nothing will change. Even have video of it...this happened in our first few matches.
