 The point is that while having the abiltity to find information in a variety of reference sources is a useful skill, it does not replace a good, complete, fundamental knowledge of your subject material. - dlavery [more] |

Some of the refs had to destroy the first ever keeper in the very first match of the regional.

I wish instead of cutting up the tubes they would give them to me instead.
I need about 6 more to have a cooler dorm room than Tom and Corey.

Re: pic: Dante Slash!
if its like the tube in the video, the tube was stuck in the robot after auton, so the refs took a knife to it

Re: pic: Dante Slash!
how stuck was it because i don't think it would take 3 people to knife it.

That was the most stupid thing I have seen all year, why would you slash it, arent they suppost to wait to see it they will drop it in the first few seconds of human operated period.

we went through about 8 red keepers, 0 blue keepers, 5 spoilers and about 75 ringers of both colors.

I believe at GLR they left them in play if they were on the ground, I cante recal anywhere in the rules that they had to be removed from the field.

NO!! It's so painful to watch! It took so long to inflate those tubes!!

This particular tube was stuck between the 2 robots, so they couldnt just pull it out. As to why they they always remove the tubes, I would guess they want to avoid late keepers, especially those scored in the first secs of teleoperated mode.

Re: pic: Dante Slash!
At GLR, they left them in play (unfortunately). I though there was a rule about being able to release them and NOT score them after autonomous, otherwise you would get a penalty. I thought that rule was similar to the one about being able to remove a ringer at the end of the match without powering your robot up. However, many teams, such as mine, have to tether up at the end to lower the arm back down into position for travel to the pits.
EDIT: I thought it would be an interesting idea to drop it in the opposing alliances home zone during autonomous if you could not score...but since they removed them... :-

Re: pic: Dante Slash!
In the beginning of one of our matches, our human player accidentally threw a ringer onto our robot's team designation flag. We drove around for a little while trying to defend. (because we couldn't legally pic up another tube) About a minute in, the tube got stuck under our wheel... And jammed up our drive train. Our driver continued to try to break free but could not.
At the end of the match, when he was trying to remove the tube from the robot so that he could remove the robot from the feild, he said the tube looked like someone shot it with a shotgun. The friction from the wheel had melted a huge hole in it.

Re: pic: Dante Slash!
why are people complaining about the keepers being slashed? it saves time for the team so they dont have to drop it they can go straight to getting a ringer... also it's cool watching someone slaughter a helpless little tube with a knife haha. it adds comedy. plus it's not like you had to pay for the keeper.. i laughed hysterically when they slashed a tube at SVR..
