 To put it simply, its clearly become this. The teams that can score a lot, do well. Rather shocking, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you're a shooter, dumper, power dumper, gravity dumper, spitter, flinger, dunker, shumper, barfer, dropper, or whatchamacallit. Points are points. - Looking Forward [more] |

Re: Ramp Scoring, At 00:00 or After?
Historically speaking, nothing is scored until it is "at rest." Once the buzzer sounds and the controls are disabled, the referees will not look at whether a robot is in a scoring position until all motion stops, whether it be inertia, pneumatics, or gravity. After all robots are in a final resting position, it will be determined whether points will be awarded. In the past, there have been some close calls (particularly in 2003 with the metal ramp) where a piece of paper was used to determine whether a robot was fully in scoring position or not (if the paper could freely move between the robot and ground/ramp, it was in.)
