Will the Game Pieces block sight?

Competition Rules/Strategy
1

Hello, I’m new to Chief Delphi (long time reader, this site is so good for answers that we [team 1690] have always looked here).

Now, I saw the manual and the forth picture in The Arena (page 6) shows the Scoring Grid, and it seems like hanging a Game Piece on the second row of Pegs will block the driver’s sight.
Do you think this will be a problem? I think there’s a chance that completing a logo on the second row really disturb one team, and severly lowers the benefits of the second row of Pegs.

PS: if this isn’t the place for this question, or this question has already been asked, let me know (I haven’t seen it though)

That’s why we’re going for the top row first.

Our belief is that if we get enough points to block the middle row, we should be winning by a large margin.

Welcome!

Most of the discussion is taking place over here! :slight_smile:

Game pieces will block sight on the second row for the most part, so I’d suggest going for that row later into the game if even at all.

Yes, the middle row will be blocked, I think they were really pushing for cameras and line following this year.

But remember also that depending on your controller choice, etc, you could always just move somewhere else in the alliance station if your vision is obscured, like to the middle station.
Just an option…

Nice video of the field that GUS made up, shows some of the view from the drivers station along with field objects.
