Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event

My observations:

1. When I closed my eyes, the sounds of the competition robots were incredibly reminiscent of a bumper car ride at an amusement park.

2. Scoring was virtually impossible to determine from the stands. I know some veteran numerologists who have amazed me in previous years with their ability to tell the score during a complicated game and even they were baffled.

3. A subtle rule penalty was assessed in at least one game which, to me, was questionable based on the rules. If a empty cell is placed in exchange for a super cell by a payload specialist, only that specific super cell which is adjacent to the empty cell can be placed into play.

4. As expected, it is almost guaranteed that alliances with a no-show robot will lose the match.

5. Unless penalties were being discussed, field reset occurred immediately after a match was over. I never saw an official count the cells in any trailer. As such, I did wonder about the accuracy of the scores in many matches.

Regards,

Mike
