ure not the only one. u didn't notice tubby till lunch time when it was moving mysteriously past the bleechers by itself. kinda woulda been funny if a robot stacked tubby and tubby just roll off during the match. can tubby be considered a point if he/she was stacked during the match or would he/she be considered an additional robot on the field. just curious thats all !

How many tubby's are there now?

The only true Tubby is SVR's Tubby. besides, Dean wore him.

Okay, at PARC... I was successfully human player in the practice round. Well, except for my team told me to not get off the field in 10 sec, and then I didnt know when to get off...

Hm? I'm confused. We told you to come back between 10 and 15 seconds because we didn't want 25 to have a chance to flip us... you didn't realize that there was a digital clock at the center of the field and looked clueless at us and we waved at you to get back. You didn't get back in time... the only reason the robot was started was because it was a practice round.

Yes, I know, what I MEANT was that I successfully stacked the bins.

I have the tape of kristen in that match, im not sure if its better than annopolise or not since it was a practice round agiain.

MOE with 3.....Code Red didnt drop their stack

[Yan Wang]

Yeah, as mentioned, Greg and I were going for bin #6 in our stack of 5 when the buzzer rang and we yelled at our coach who 'keeps track of time'. Good job MOE... you guys have competent coaches.

Hey Hey Hey....you were on the wrong side to see the clock....considering there aws only one...dont yell at the coach...lol

[Yan Wang]

Um... there were clocks on both sides. When we turned our heads up we saw the 0:45 in bold red. If there weren't clocks on either side, then it'd not have been a fair competition.

Hm, suggestion for next year: Program a clock that does not require running through 25 seconds of stuff before the robot can move. Plus it just confuses people.

Thanks . Not too bad for my first match coached. It was a driver coach consensus to drop at 15 sec.

Ya I cant believe FIRST didnt provide an easily modifiable program. The KOH round was really bad b/c the one of the mock human players was not stepping on his mat between 10 and 15 sec to disable autonomous. Never send a human to do a computer's job.

That was great. It took them like 3 times to get everyone to do it right . I feel kind of sorry for that one kid though. Can you imagine having to be replaced by one of your mentors because you couldn't step on the mat between 10 and 15 seconds?

I am sure the entire crowd cheering when he was replaced didnt help his self esteem any. However, he wasnt putting a lot of effort into it by sitting on a sandbag and putting one foot the mat. I think he just didnt care so I dont think he was disappointed to lose the job.

yeah he was probably happy to lose his position as Human Player....

Human Player is almost as much fun as driving....it's crazy

[Yan Wang]

Hm... I don't normally try to listen to the announcer or hear the announcer anyway when driving. Did the announcer count down the time left for the matches? If so, I wish I listened (or heard).
