Re: Best Way to Get Points
Yes you can do your lap with it in your possession, but look at <G10> in my previous post ... you will need to release it and not be touching it as it crosses the finish line or it won't count.

Re: Best Way to Get Points
where are you getting all the track balls?
there might be one on the field after hybrid mode. your opponent wont give you a second one. so three hurdling bots on one alliance are all trying to hurdle one ball. if the opponent is driving three race cars around the track, they outscore you by almost 3 to one. which of 3 teams gets the honor to hurdle the ball? jerry w |

Re: Best Way to Get Points
i dont know what your mock-up team is strategy is but, ours is based on a defensive strategy. we herd the trackballs and play defense, nothing more

Re: Best Way to Get Points
Reading through these posts got me to thinking. If a team were playing simply to "win", knocking over an opponent trying to hurdle would be well worth the 10 point penalty that it would incur.
I'm wondering if perhaps they shouldn't increase the penalty for this infraction. Knock one of their hurdlers over, even unintentionally, and you odds of winning increase astronomically, even with a measly 10 point pen. |

If your robot's traveling at 10 ft/s -- a reasonable number, I think -- you need only release the ball for .5 seconds. That's not so bad. |

Re: Best Way to Get Points
I wonder if we will see penalties this year for contact while a bot is hurdling and there still an open lane?

They did this to us several times - the end result was our bot was disabled by the end of the match - radio receiver shatter, air system destroyed, electrical board guarding broken off. And no pen given. Please note afterwards they apologized and showed gracious professionalism in the extreme - they offered to help work on the robot, etc etc. But I enjoy the battlebot comment. |

Re: Best Way to Get Points
Not last year...I can think of one case on Curie where a robot got a 10-pointer and a "fix the robot" warning. That said, the ref certification course should solve the inconsistency issue, so that won't happen again.

People have complained forever about the calls that refs have made and will always do so any time there is a competition for anything. I umpire baseball and can understand the position of refs. I believe this statement sums competition up perfectly: You can please half the people 100% of the time but never 100% of the people 100% of the time. Someone's always going to be unhappy with a call. I think that the certification test will help standardize calls and make them as good as possible. Honestly, I think that the refs in my years in FIRST have done a very good job. Also, remember they are only human. |
