Answer to an old joke..."How do you get to Carnegie Hall?...Practice, practice,practice!"
We all have seen teams accomplish tasks in under 60 seconds so you know that is possible. With a 10x multiplier even a small ball takes on significance. If Beatty/Team Hammond #71, Motorola/Wildstang #111, Motorola/Gear Grinders #112, NASA/Rolls Royce/Cyber Blue #234, Oconomowoc OHS FIRST #269 had lost just 1 second each in performing their tasks, the score would have been 568 instead of 710. If each robot had stumbled going over the bridge and lost just 9 seconds each the score would have been 568. The difference between a very respectable high score (a 568 average would place any team in a seeding position) and a national record is just 5 seconds, about the time it takes to get 4 individuals to push 4 red buttons to stop the clock. All the robots at Midwest Regional were great (including the rookies) so a lot of the credit has to go to the drivers and human players and the strategy teams leading them on the field.
See you all next week,
Al
