Increasing tower strength for Championships.

Depends which regional you're at.......

Yeah the beaching strength could be increased to three theoretically but it won't be, because they didn't put it in the rules. In terms of tower strength, I can see anywhere from 10 to 12, if they do anything at all.

Make that -9: http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2016mawor_sf2m2

And with a rookie team, no less.

Who ever decided that the majority of that match needed to be shot through a overhead view from the tower, and not the very nice side view where everything can be seen deserves to be dragged into the street and pelted with boulders.

In their defense, they were probably standing on the balcony that overlooked the field judging by the angle, and most likely only wanted to record their one alliance.

Anyway, if an alliance with a rookie team can score so many boulders, top-tier robots at champs most certainly can.

I am talking about the other video, not the one clearly done by a team.

Thanks to the Ligerbots for the best collection of HD videos of an event I've seen from a team. Got the scores and everything. Really nice.

Also, we had a GoPro on one of our drive team. It's not easy to see the match, but it does give you a decent idea of the poor vision and the chaos behind the drive stations during a match. https://youtu.be/igLmJ5veFuE
