Go to Post Mentors need to be sure that the team is on track to have a working robot ready. Students can do almost everything, but they need help watching the calender. Even if your ideas turn out bad, if your robot is inspectable and running when you arrive at your first event, anything can happen. - AcesPease [more]

Re: No Hurdling Matches

I agree with the 24 points per alliance. Are you looking forward to a high speed bump draft into the wall? This is the FIRST year that I am truely concerned that a robot may leave the arena, especially with people talking about 25 feet per second! They should have designed banking in the corners. At least they softened them up a little. The match will probaly go to the alliance that gets the most points in Hybrid. One Lap Hybrid being 16 points and one lap Tele being only 2 points. It will take a lot of Tele laps to overcome a Hybrid lap.

It should be an exciting match to watch, and it will give the refs a little breather! Just stay behind the plexi!

I wish they would have baked the turns. I'd rather have the much more fun Bristol Motor Speedway than the bland flat Martinsville track.

I prefer my turns fried.

Maybe in a couple of years well get a roller derby game, with a round, triangle, and square game pieces to mess around with!

OK, first of all, it's driving me crazy that you spelled "banked" without the "n" (although it would be interesting to watch someone bake a batch of turns).

Other thought - yes, I do see this happening sometimes, but I can guarantee that you will not see this happening during eliminations or finals (if an alliances odes this, they will be swiftly defeated)
