Quickest 2 mins in first

[Mark Hamilton]

The 2 minute rounds are part of the challenge. If you work out a strategy before hand, you can get a lot done in 2 minutes. I like the time limit because it really shows who put in the extra time and effort training and strategizing to make the most of their time. Besides, if you think 2:00 min. is bad, think back to the pressure on drive teams in 2000 with the time multipliers. Adding time onto the match won't solve the time crunch, it will just mean you will be expected to get even more done, and before you know it 2:30 or 3:00 will seem too short.

There is alot to be done this year, and the field starts to look cluttered after awhile. I guess this is part of the challenge, though, and we'll utilize our robot's strengths, our partner's strengths, and our autonomous modes to get everything done that we intend to.

All think 2:00mins is fine I mean check out the videos on www.wildstang.org for 2001 the "710 points"....all in 55 secs? I think people just need to get use to the game.

I think that the 10 minute practice matches that we had pre-2003 were nice, because you could practice doing things over and over, and you could send people out onto the field to reset it and try it again, it was much more laid back. They gave you time to really figure out what was wrong when something happened. It was especially nice for the human players because they could attempt 60 or so shots in 10 minutes instead of 6.

PS: I don't think they should ever change the regular match time to more than 2:00, if you can't get it done in 2 min you shouldn't be trying to do it.
