Re: Is defense necessary in practice rounds?
Defense may be necessary to test the strenght and capabilities of your robot as well as giving the driver some defense practice. However, there is no reason for this to be excessive...maybe 10 seconds or so. Most robots need practice scoring therefor it shouldn't matter which goal you try for either just as long as you can practice getting the balls in the goals.
So I basically agree that defensive shouldn't the main focus of practice rounds and robots should be allowed to score. Actually why not leave the lights on all the time (other than for field testing) to maximize a teams chance to practice scoring? |
