Go to Post Super Regional? I don't know...if you combine NJ and Philly the universe might tear a hole in itself...and we wouldn't want that now would we? Mwahaha. - George A. [more]

Re: Possible interference during San Diego Finals

It's possible that it was one of the Judge's kids. (Although, knowing the bulk of the Judges from SD and LA, I doubt that's the case.)

Should the kid have been there? Depends on whose kid he was. An older student or adult watching him would have helped to prevent this sort of situation.

This is NOT limited to little kids. I was at a regional doing some job (RI, perhaps?) and didn't realize that I was getting closer and closer to the field to grab balls that were coming out of play. The Regional Director put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me back. (Yes, I'm still embarrassed about this, but big enough to admit it.)

If you've never volunteered field side, I guarantee you that it is extremely difficult to follow anything going on outside of your role.
- Judges - Watch specific robots to see how they perform
- Referees - Watch specific areas of field or robots to track rules violations/scoring
- FTA - Watches field to see if anything needs repair between matches
- Field Supervisor - Tracks time, communicates with other groups to let them know what's happening field side, such as which match is competing, among other tasks
- CSA - ??? (This is new to me.)
- LRI - Watches robots to see if anything is not within the rules at the start of the match, changes were made to robot that wasn't inspected, or damage to robot to know what inspectors need to follow up on

These are just a handful of the positions that are field side. Since ALL of the field side positions are busy, who is supposed to have been responsible for spotting the kid and keeping him from doing what he did?

Knowing the great group that puts on the SD regional, they will address this situation if they end up in the same venue next year provided they get the necessary input. (Boltman and other SD regional participants need to get an email to the Regional Director or someone on the Regional Committee.)
