Re: Team 48 does a flip (video)!

in my opinion, we need more of that in first, look at the NFL and how Defense has revolutionized the game, you see great one handed catches all the time, but how often do you see a helmet cracking hard KO hit by a superstar defender.

this video was great, i love FIRST and defense,, i just think FIRST is starting to be more like the NBA, stooping the defense and focusing on the offense. i mean, no more wedges, the addition of bumpers adn the flag system (which doesn't really make a difference.)

you need balance, let there be some hard hits, because there are too many great offensive plays, not enough plays that prevent offensive plays from happening

The anti-wedge rule is good. A tipped robot is out for a match and it is rather boring.

The bumpers promote defense, not discourage it.

Defense is heavy enough this year already. It is rare (even for top teams) to score enough to beat a double lift.

Re: Team 48 does a flip (video)!

The beauty of this video is what was said right before the practice match... The guys from 48 came up to our drive team and said: "You mind if we try to play a little light defense?" To which we replied "Go for it". Wish we would have caught the face of our coach when the bot came screaming towards us, I'm guessing it looked like this:

Re: Team 48 does a flip (video)!

It seems to me that the anti wedge rule needs to be expanded to and anti-inflated-pool-tube-that-can-flip-small-robots rule. definetely seems like that is the hardest type to flip yet you did it with the greatest of ease. Another day, another law of physics broken.
