Re: Lesson Learned: The Negative

The only thing I can complain about were the penalties. Many of the penalties called during our matches I can't complain about, but some things I just thought were rediculous. Here's an example of one of these penalties I thought was just wrong...

I was heading around the track and right when I made it past my alliance's quadrant (the one our robots begin in) our robot and another robot got locked together. We were going at the same speed and turning at the same rate and somehow we turned at the same rate, also. So when we turned the corner somehow a robot infront of us got tangled into some sort of sandwich where an apponent's robot was inbetween mine and a robot from my alliance. Unfortunately not one of us could escape. Our alliance partner had something clinging to our arm which herded the trackballs around the field. The robot inbetween us couldn't move because they were stuck inbetween us with no way of moving backwards or forwards.

Anyways, the refs had never seen something like this and it took them like 10 minutes to discuess what had happend. I forgot what exactly were the calls, but I think one was for blocking and the other was for impeding the line. In this situation, a complete accident, where none of us can do anything, why should they call any penalties at all?

Also, I always had trouble seeing the quadrant diagnal from the quadrant where my team's controller was located. The lane divider reflected the robots and blocked my vision. It really was a pain in the butt when we got called for something I had no knowledge of doing.
