Re: Alamo 2012

Against my better judgement I have decided to drive from college station to come watch Saturday. I just couldn't wait for robots any longer.

How did you draw that conclusion? Their feed implies they will not know until tomorrow.

Re: Alamo 2012

If you look at the match in which that happen 118 was on Red and 488 was on blue. The Coopertition score is 0...this would actually imply it didn't count...

Time will tell...

Re: Alamo 2012

Hmm, why would they post then? This is only going to get more and more frustrating until qualifications start.

Re: Alamo 2012

"successfully balanced" could just mean that the Bridge was level.

Successful != legal

Like I said - the field system shows they were awarded 0 points.

I read the tweet as meaning they were physically successful, not necessarily legally successful.

Yes I do see it now. I did tweet them back for a more concise clarification on the ruling.

Re: Alamo 2012

I was told by a student on another team that the ruling would be handed out tomorrow.

I wouldnt be surprised if the Refs had to call the GDC and clarify if it's in the "spirit of the game".

There's a picture of that balance with 488 on the Robonauts facebook page. I think it's publicly viewable. Just search Robonauts.

I loved the Alamo last year - alas, it coincided with a band trip this year.

Have fun and take notes!

Re: Alamo 2012

Honestly, even if the balancing mechanism is ruled illegal, at least 118 will have an awesome bridge manipulator. It's not like they built their entire robot around one strategy that got ruled illegal (see the Troll Bot discussion).

However, if their method IS legal, Then i'm expecting every competition to play this sound whenever they balance: http://inception.davepedu.com/ ;) .

The entire day they were not scoring bridge points. Numerous teams including ours balanced but the points were not displayed. The points being neglected does not imply anything.

Let's see what happens tomorrow!
