I think that having robot the platform during a game of Breakaway should have been worth three points and I have more justification for it then "It would have made my team win
that match."
As we all know a suspend robot is one robot hanging off of another robot that is also hanging from the tower. This is worth three points. It also requires two well designed robots, robots designed to go above the normal call of the game, two skilled drivers, and maybe some luck. It nets your alliance 5 points.
Getting a robot on to the platform also requires two well designed robots, also designed to go beyond the normal call of the game, two skilled drivers, and maybe some luck and yet it nets your alliance only 2 points.
Both getting a suspended robot and having a robot on the platform are amazing feats and I think they should be awarded more equally.

Thinks to remember: 1)Ethernet cable goes in cRio port #1 2)Cloth goes all the way around bumpers 3) Don't let Ed use the good miter box, because he will make it the bad miter box 4) Don't let Joseph use the hand drill 5) Don't let Jesse play soccer inside 6) Ed is the campion 7) We don't go full speed over the bump 8) I need to grow a beard so I can stroke it thoughtfully.
We know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. - Nin_estarSaerah [more]
