Re: Scream For Sally

The big thing about Scream for Sally is that it's for the audience selection defense. When the audience selects the drawbridge it affects all the teams and mostly for the worse since you have to rely on a camera or a marker to figure out where your robot is.

Some teams are saying it doesn't affect them because of the camera, but it does with reasons being that in the heat of a competition you don't want to take your eyes off the robot and look at a computer screen, plus the point of view on the camera is objectively inferior to seeing the robot in its entirety.

Our team played a match where both the drawbridges were audience selected along with both the portcullis out (the CDF's were out of commission for that round) and the match was extremely slow because of it, nobody wanted a broken robot.

If you believe your team can deal with the drawbridge easily, then feel free to select it for your match, but for the good of all the teams and entertaining competition the audience should scream for sally.
