Observations First Day of Matches

[Justin Montois]

I agree with everyone, it is only practice day but there was two things that really stuck out, most of which has been discussed before, but this confirms it.

1: It's really hard to score on a moving robot. Even with a good shooter(I only saw one that even shot(1114)) it was really hard to score unless the trailer wasn't moving. This told me that unless you plan on your partners pinning a bot down, and you scoring from a distance, you better be able to pin.

2: Human players are scoring a TON of points. They will be game changers more so then I thought. I think in some cases you will see teams getting picked just for there human player.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

PS: All matches today that I saw were painfully slow moving from a field management stand point. I think a lot of teams showed up with outdated firmware and it slowed things down. This may not be an issue tomorrow as teams will have there firmware checked at inspection, but today as we all know, you could go on the field without being inspected.
