Distracting Drones

Perhaps someone should shoot them out of the sky! Just kidding.

I've heard back in the tic days, MMs would attempt to "take out" field judges because while the judge was recovering, he/she would miss tics.

Mostly with the senior corps. DM Wild Bill Hooten of the Reilly Raiders (PA) was known to march so a judge would have to move away from the drum line.

Yeah, but I believe Hyper Shock had it's lunch handed to them in a later round.

Yes, but you only need to destroy one to scare the rest away.

What impressed me besides the mechanical/design skills of the teams is those bots are not light and to see them get thrown around is cool.

Hmmmm ... that might be one way to get the judges off the field and still let them have a close look at the action -- would have to add sensitive mics.

In the drone era, it'd be up to the guard to tag the judge's drone with a rifle or saber. LOL!

I've been told by someone who marched from 1978-1982 that not only did MM go judge hunting, but the drill was specifically written at times to try and trap the judges.

So far, no drones at the Saturday night show.

Bliss.

With recent fires in the SW and W, Utah recently passed a law allowing shot guns to be used by the fire crews to take out the drones that have, at times, interfered with choppers and planes dropping water and fire retardant.

DCI needs shotguns.
