Audience Selection of Defenses

FIRST General Forum

In section 2.2.2 of the game manual, it says that one of the defenses on the field is selected by the audience. Does anyone know how the audience makes the selection and how often? (for instance, every match?)

Please go read section 5.5.10.1.

Its basically using whichever defense gets the highest cheer

So how long before the audience gets bored of the whole thing and no cheers are audible? 5 rounds, maybe 10?

EDIT: Just realized what they mean by a “round”. Considering that this is a new term, maybe they should have more specifically defined it…

every round of robots it will be selected again. a round is each robot playing approximately once. For districts, this means 12 votes in the qualification rounds.

The group to be selected from will be posted on the schedule, so your team can know ahead of time what choices are left for alliance selection.

Is the selection from the Audience going to be the same for both alliances, or could it be different?

Both will be the same. 5.5.10.1 has more info.
