About how many matches worth of tubes are there? Because that could be costly...

danggg that is a lot of tubes. I knew a few bots would pop the tubes but never knew this many would be popped wow.

Apparently FIRST planned to go through alot of tubes (they have to be the flimsiest game piece FIRST has ever chosen) because at BAE I saw a huge pile of tubes. Espcially Keepers which tells me they plan to sacrafce them if they don't come along willingly.

haha yeah i knew about the secret stash from Cromer and was tempted to get a few more for when we were practicing since we only had like 3 spoilers...but i didnt cause we had issues and had to bring the bot to the pits.

I heard the defense was very intense at FLR. Guess some of those ringers just were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Gertlex · #8 13-03-2007, 21:47

Most of those ringers look fine to me...

I heard the FIRST average was 55 popped tubes a day.

Alex Cormier · #10 13-03-2007, 21:47

well most of them are ones that were patched and ready to go for qual. matches. but we were told, no taped or fixed tubes for elims, so we had to keep those far away.

Joe Matt · #11 13-03-2007, 21:48

I really hope FIRST recycles these tubes or something, otherwise it's going to be really bad for the environment....

These were all the tubes used in the qualifying matches at FLR. About 2-3 tubes were broken every 3 matches, and sometimes about 3 each match. Many of these tubes were tubes that were from BAE, and we patched them and used them before we used the stash meant for FLR. After Qualifying matches, Finals tubes have to be pure, as in they must be new and no patches with tape. We had 32 blue tubes at the beginning of Finals to use, and we ended up with 5 left over afterwards.

I have a tube with 25 patched holes that works like new. It took me forever to find them all.
