Go to Post There are a maximum of 80 balls in play . If all the balls are in the goals or out of play and the human players won't throw them back in, I guess the robots might try line dancing or doing the cha-cha. - Rick TYler [more]

This is part of the reason why I am a fan or repurposing plastic waste .

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
seems pretty high actually. IIRC, at the Indy District, we killed 12 and we had about 80 matches as well (a handful of practice, 68 quals, and elims of course). Or maybe we got lucky. Next week we'll see in Kokomo I guess.

Recycle Rush is a different game, compared to what we FRC competitors have been used to for several years. It is not possible for a team to improve its seed by playing defense. However, it is ironic that in a game with a "green" theme (recycling), littering the opposing alliance's side of the field is a very effective tactic for improving a team's seed.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
Let us not forget the amount of bots murdered by the noodles . I think they just get in the way. When 144s bot came back we had a few chunks of noodle stuck deep inside our omni wheels

The top teams at Oregon City didn't really throw noodles, and I think that is why we didn't see much noodle throwing at that event. Expect that to change when Wilsonville rolls around next week.
Part of the reason nobody threw them much was many noodles would get caught under a robot and trashed and people got mad at not being able to move for obvious reasons. Also the human players weren't as skilled at throwing the noodles as some of the teams from the Dallas regional for example, where noodles made it all the way across the field.

Re: PNW Noodle Death Count
What would be really bad is when noodles would be blocking the path to the coopertition stacking... Kinda defeats the purpose, but it happened on multiple occasions.
