[OCCRA]: what you thought of today

[Mike Martus]

The Game and Kit committee was very pleased at the result of the game.

What we liked the best was the fact that teams did not have any penalties - I forgot that I had flags in my pocket.

Only 1 time did I talk to a team about watching their action as they bumped into another robot with a head of steam. They understood my position and the next match were great.

Only 1 thing I would ask teams to improve on ........

When you set the robot down - TURN IT ON! - just a plain rookie mistake made by many teams.

Each year the quality of the robots improve as the teams get a learning base of students teaching students and passing on their robot building skills.

It is my hope that as the season matures that all robots will continue to improve - I know my team is working every day on improvements - hard to get them to go home - they really enjoy this educational activity.

Good luck to all teams, keep up the great work.
