Utilizing breaks between matches.

[AlexanderLuke]

Here is something relevant, but not really something easily possible to put on at official events:

Today while issues with one of the robots was getting fixed before Finals Match 2 at Capital City Classic, the event staff got two members of the audience to come on the field and attempt to throw a boulder into the high goal on the other side of the field.

Even the FTA crews and some volunteers chimed in on getting a shot up. Someone actually made the shot from the neutral zone, amidst the six robots that were already set up there.

EDIT: After they determined that the robot's problem could not be solved in time, one the the referees even started to juggle on the field as that robot was getting pulled off the field.

Creative solutions.

Glad to hear people got a kick out of this. I've already started training for field delays at Sac regional 2017

Something simple would be a video replay of the previous match.. That takes up most of the time between matches.... It would need a dedicated individual who could go back and make the replay.... technically it could be done but would require someone doing it. Of course it COULD NOT be used by the officials for scoring. If you watch sporting events... much of the deadtime shows highlights or different angles.

Many matches go by very quickly and many would be fun to watch again. Some not so much...

Old game videos from older games could also be played.... nostalgia

highlights of other regionals.... etc etc.

There is quite a bit out there if you look
