Re: pic: Tube Throwing Comparison
To any/all of you who continue experimenting with this year's tubes (from behind a legit driver-station mock-up, and with mini-bot poles in the way), I would love to see any sort of rough sketches of where they land compared to where you aim them.
I am developing the human player simulation software for this season's 5th Gear match simulator quite literally right now; and I need to come up with a simple but good-enough model for the sort of accuracy and distance we will give our simulated humans.
I would also love to get some measurements of how long it typically takes after a driver/robot/anlyst requests one, to find and then release a correct tube. For thrown tubes I'm also curious how long they stay in the air after they are released, and how far they bounce/skid/roll.
Sophisticated measurements are great and might indicate that you have a bright future. Back of the napkin is great to get too, and might even indicate a brighter future.
