OK, v1.0 is officially posted. I see it as a BETA version. I'd like to switch to drop-down lists, but that'll take some studying. Please inform me of any bugs that you find so I can fix them ASAP!

If you play around with it enough you just may find an easter egg;)

some possible errors:
i have to double cheack it but spoilers are not countering the score plus
also when 2 ringers of same aliance are on a leg i think scores are supose to be null.

Yes, two like ringers should cancel, nothing should cancel a keeper, and a spoiler ONLY cancels if it is the 2nd (right) ring.
I thought I made it to do that, I'll have to wait till the weekend when I'm at work to check it.

hi there!

that was a great job...

it is working well... but i didn't understand what is written in the white fields...

and i have a doubt about the pontuation... my team didn't found any examples with a row formed in the spider legs #8 and #1... so after a lot of discussions, we still don't know if it will be acepted..

thank you

bye, and good lucky!

white fields? Ahh, yes, the bottom row of buttons... it says 'NADA' which is English slang for NOTHING. -sorry about that.

Yes, I know there is currently debates as to the whole wrap-around issue. I did design this scoresheet to count the wrap-arounds and if updates state that all rows scored end at 8, then I will be sure to update the scoring ASAP and get a new version reposted.

I'm glad that some of you are getting a kick out of the 'three elevated bot' bonus. I'm not saying that 3 bots in the air is impossible, just award-worthy in my mind.:cool:

Just out of curiousity, has anyone else noticed any issues with the scoring? I'd like to be sure what I'm looking for when I go to debug.

column #3 doesn't seem to be working for me. More specifically when you are just doing a single on column 3, the rows appear to work.

I must say, I did release v1.0 without any major testing. I was able to play with it for about an hour last night, and I must send my apologies to the 300+ downloaders of this BETA version. If you haven't picked up on the problems, here they are:

-column 3 does not work (simple programming error)

-in addition to scoring the columns, it also adds the points per tube (ie, a 2-tube column would equal 8 pts(4-row + 2 per tube)) This was purely an overlooked point in the original programming and will be fixed.

Unfortunately, I don't have a computer at home. I made it while I was at work (which is weekends only), and I'm at the library now (which is internet only), and then school doesn't start until next week. However, I will head down to school tomorrow to see if I can use thier computers, if so, v2.0 will be released tomorrow fixing many of the errors that have been found in v1.0, otherwise, it'll have to wait until Saturday.

So please, keep your eyes open for a CRITICAL UPDATE post, hopefully sometime tomorrow.

This looks great.
I am assuming that the double is to account for spoilers and what is then behind it?

Also in the next release could you add a easy reset button?

Great work

Awesome! Thanks! :)

P.S. Since according to your spreadsheet, we get an engineering award for raising all three bots up, we decided to build a hover craft!

P.P.S. I wish.

Version 2.0 is now posted.
I highly suggest trashing v1.0 and replace it with the new version. The scoring in version 2.0 is much more reliable than in 1.0. In 1.0, columns would add individual points from the tubes as well as the rows, this is no longer the case in 2.0. Also, column 3 just didn't work at all, this is now fixed. I've played around with it a little, but it seems to be working fine for me.

IF YOU FIND ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE POST THEM AND I WILL GET THEM RESOLVED ASAP!!!

Great work

If anybody knows VBA code and would be willing to help me out with a RESET, I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to play with it, but it just isn't working out right. The Keeper rows (B:Q 2,9,16) need to reset to a value of 6(value of the "none" button) and the robot rows (R:T 3,11) need to reset to 1, along with clearing(or set to 0) R7 and T14.

Again, if anybody knows VBA or would be willing to point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

cbudrecki

of course, playing around with the more reliable 2.0, I realized it wasn't adding the top row in addition to the columns, a quick programming change and v2.1 is now released.

ENJOY!

I was just curious as to where V2.0 is posted

v2.0(now 2.1, soon to be 2.2) is posted on the same page as 1.0. The new paper system allows you to post multiple files into one paper, so all updates will be posted on the same page as the original. I didn't realize how the new paper system worked, or I just would have title the paper w/o the version #.

v2.2 is released (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1902).:eek: I've played with it thouroughly and all seems to be OK. The scoring definately throws you off looking at it quickly, but take a minute, sit back, and really think about what was counted and what is now getting counted, and it all makes sense. (I was driving myself nuts thinking things weren't adding up correctly...)

I do truly feel that v2.2 will give you a very accurate scoring and as always, if you find something wrong, don't hesitate to post it.

Also, once again, I would appreciate anyone who knows VBA code to help with a RESET button. What needs to be done is posted earlier in this thread.

In version 2.1, if you put a Red Keeper or Ringer on the Top and Middle Row of the 1st Column the score say 6, when it should be 4.

Might want to take a look at that.

good catch, i believe I got everything else covered in 2.2, but not that

try 2.2.1

I was playing with v1.0 yesterday fixing it to work for me and adding extras.

Reset was something i was looking into, and this is the macro I came up with:

Sub Button1456_Click()

Range("B2:Q2,B9:Q9,B16:Q16").Select
Selection.Value = 6
Range("R3:T3,R11:T11").Select
Selection.Value = 1
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

It selects the the Radio buttons and changes the value to "NADA" for the spider legs and changes the value to "<4"" for the raising of the robots.

This is looking good. I am working on one with a student as well that we hope to complete this week.

I did notice that if you complete a column it is scoring 10 instead of 8 but then it corrects as more are added.

Keep up the good work

Thanks, look forward to a 3.1 before long...

P.S.- Brandon, I've tried to delete older versions, but it just won't let me. I really don't mean to be taking up so much space...

they're kicking me out of the computer lab for today, so I think I'll be able to check up on things tomorrow night, if not then Friday.

I must say THANX and GREAT JOB to all of you who have pointed out the problems and, of course, once again to Spider-Man who gave me the code for the RESET button.

TTFN!

V 3.1 still adds incorrectly. When you have a row of 8 it = 256, which is correct. But when I remove a tube from position 5, it shows 144, when it should really be a row of 3 and a row of 4 which = 24.

to get 144, you probably have other legs selected to add to the 128 for a 7-row - read the whole thread-

Yes, I know there is currently debates as to the whole wrap-around issue. I did design this scoresheet to count the wrap-arounds and if updates state that all rows scored end at 8, then I will be sure to update the scoring ASAP and get a new version reposted.

my apologies. of course you didn't have anything else selected. the program gave you the 128 for the seven row, however what I now have to work out is how to keep it from adding the four row that starts in column 1. thanks for the heads-up, expect a 3.2 soon.

Rack & Roll Scoring v3.2 is now posted (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1902)

this resolves the issue of adding rows starting at column 1 to a wrap-around row. Made rows, dropped tubes, added columns, all seems to be working OK.

12-01-2007, 12:19

Well, that's one version that I won't have to release.

From FIRST Q&A (http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?p=2811#post2811)-
The numbers on the top row of Spider Legs are for reference purposes only. Potential rows are determined solely by adjacency and "wrap around" the reference locations. So a set of scored Spider Legs 7, 8 and 1 would be considered a row of three.

It appears on version 3.2 you reversed the Keepers and the Ringers.

I could be wrong, I didn't play with it a whole lot, and I didn't observe it closely.

if anyone would like, I would gladly post a version with red and blue MAX score buttons(922 by the way). I have it done, but until I can get older versions of the score sheet deleted from the paper, though, I'd really rather not post any more than necessary.

well, now that the older versions are gone, I've posted this as v4.5. I felt it's more than just a .1 change, but not quite a full version, so I made it a 1/2. I do believe this will be the final version, but who knows...

v4.5 features:
- 8 revisions of scoring
- QP & RP scoring
- MAX blue and red score buttons
- RESET button

ENJOY!
