Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

Our shooter had some success this weekend, and with the control loop finally added to it, it would be a deadly combination.

In general though, some things learned:

if you stay still you lose
autonomous is the human player's dream when a robot gets caught in front of them
watch those super-cell penalties
dont throw the empty cell over the wall! (one team threw all 4 over)
the carpet doesnt help much in getting away from the wall; likewise it also makes getting balls right up against the wall very difficult
g14 is a killer.
typically only 1-2 super cells were scored per match, but i guess this will change after a couple weeks of regionals
empty cells get lost on the field
the middle of the field is where you want to be to avoid super cells and robot scoring. placing moon rocks in the center is insanely difficult
its very hard to keep track of the score, especially in those close-scoring matches
the super cell makes the difference (we went from 14 pts down to 1 pt up in the last second of the match)


those are my observations. I wouldnt give up on the shooter bots just yet, especially considering that if they are done right they have near 100% accuracy in those awkward situations.
(then again wouldnt anything done right have 100% accuracy?)
