Red Advantage ?

[Scott Ritchie]

Channel 1 just had a thing on this and said red does have an advantage. Don't know if I agree but it is out there.

Did British anthropologists also conclude that bright red coats give you an advantage in war?

I agree that there was a slight red advantage for last years game, Triple Play. The red tetras were easier to see. The field was asymmetric (regards to Human/Auto loading) so our autonomous was more consistent from the Red side.

The only things red or blue this year is the bike flags, the ramps and the trim around the goals. This shouldn't provide a significant visibility advantage.

If anything I would say that red has a very odd disadvantage. Red seems to go on offense almost every time there is a autonomous tie. I know it is supposed to be random, but it seems that blue rarely loses this random selection. Maybe I am just not remembering blue because they're blue.

Did anyone else notice this?

That's like saying there's a higher chance to get heads when flipping a coin than tails.

Honestly, how many teams that you saw were able to pick up the vision tetra?
