The FIRST day...

[sevisehda]

What is everyones impressions about how the game actually played out compared to how they thought it would.

As my screen is filled with as many webcasts as I can find I'm surprised by a few things but others i thought would happen.

1) In the majority of rounds at least 1 team fails to enetr autonomous because of the humans being to slow. This will surely decrease as time goes on but I'd think people would know to go fast.

2) So many boxes left on the ramp at the end. Teams have to start knocking them down. This WILL NOT be happening in the finals.

3) I haven't seen so many bots tip over since...I've never seen so many bots tip. I thought that tipping would be a rare occurance except for ramp-dom fighting.

4) I'm not surprised by the lack of stacking but its still early. It seams that instead of stacking most stackers end of tipping. The bots who stack inside the bot or steal stacks appear to be the only ones that contribute to the match.

5) Scoring is very low, the highest I've seen as of yet is 120. The lowest 0 and the average total is about 60. Also the close rounds seem to be in the 40s while the teams who score about 90 normally slaugter there opponent.

6) The score board, it took me 5 minutes to realize why the team numbers lit up. But I still haven't figured out the numbers next to them.
