Re: Pre-Shipdate UTC Scrimmage

Thank you to all the folks at 176 and FIRST who provided a great opportunity for teams to practice... and for allowing NEMO to hold our meeting there!

Kyle brings up an interesting point - I didn't see all the matches, but I did see a few robots tipped over at the end of the matches - maybe because they fell off the sides of the ramps? Anyone want to clarify? And I also saw the refs measuring lots of ramps to verify the height.

As far as tube carnage, I'm not too sure, but I would recommend to try and not sit anywhere near where they will be blowing up replacements - the squeal from the air compressor was awful!
