On Tuesday, June 16, 12 Teams participated in the ICCOn Summer Rumble at the Aneheim Hilton. Dean Kamen gave the key-note address earlier in the day and then we had a small scale competition.
Team 64 came in first place with an average of almost 500 points
Team 60 was second almost 150 points behind team 64
Team 330 was third, just 1 average point behind team 60.
Team 68, traveling all the way from michigan, came in fourth but obviosly had the coolest design there.
They modified the rules somewhat, taking into account many of the things talked about on these forums.
First of all, The winning alliance had 300 points added to their score, instead of tripling. They also had a way to replace a non-functioning robot. The team with the working robot of the alliance got to choose one of the robots from the previous match to fill in. The fill-in team didn't get the score recorded from the match.
These changes made for a lot more exciting rounds.
