2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Thought I might let the Midwest teams know that CowTown Throwdown registration has been open for a few days. Competition begins November 2nd and goes on the 3rd.
Hope to see you there, and BV CAPS MMR2410 can't wait to compete with you all again! |

Hopefully, we can also enter our practice bot as a 2nd entry... waiting to hear back on that... Looking forward to our 2nd CTTD... THANKS! |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
3397 is registered and pumped for our first ever off-season event!
We can't wait too participate in the CTTD! I am personally SUPER exited that we get to go, as we missed registration last year. Can't wait to see you guys there! |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Team 1730 is looking forward to hosting this event again. We may have a few bumps in the road since we have changed venues, but at least we don't have to drive so far to get there (3 blocks for me). We hope to ensure everyone has a fun and enjoyable time. We like to give the freshmen a chance to experience robotics before the season starts. This gets them excited to learn and get involved more.

"Teams can enter a second robot with a second entry fee, however the second robot will be placed on the waiting list. (A team will need to indicate which robot is their primary robot) We will fill the 48 spots with as many individual teams as possible, and fill with teams entering a second robot as needed. Thanks for your understanding of this as our goal is to have as many different teams compete that are interested. Please note that last year there were only 32 slots and this year we’re increasing the field to 48 so there’s a very good chance a second robot will get in. The deadline for teams for pay is Oct 1. If there are slots, your second team will come off the wait list and onto the roster." We've indicated that we want our practice bot on the Waiting List and we'll see how things go... LOVE IT when things are _upfront_ and _clear_. This _and_ other things, makes CTTD a very worthwhile off-season event... |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Team 1802 is hoping to be there we are just dealing with trying to figure out who will be there. The coach is getting married that day and 4 of the primary mentors(including myself) will be at his wedding along with at least 3 of our students.
On a side note, I'm looking forward to planning another awesome FLL rumble that coincides with Cowtown. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Team #1094 the Channel Cats will be going to CowTown Throw Down. yay!

HOPEFULLY, this would cause a consideration of rescheduling the dates because it knocks a HUGE/critical chunk of the Bronc Botz students being able to attend since they've signed up for the LAST opportunity to raise their scores before college apps are due by 12/31... and I'm pretty sure the same would apply to ALL the other teams/students (11th/12th grade) planning to attend... PLEASE advise... THANKS! |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
The Kuh-nig-its of team 1939 are excited to be attending Cowtown again this year. Glad that our hosts have opted for a bigger venue and more teams. I'm sure that it will be an extremely competitive event as usual.
I'm sure that you are waiting for other offseason events to play out before deciding on rule changes, but any early insights about those changes would be great. Also, a huge thank you to Team Driven 1730 and Cerner for hosting and sponsoring the event. It is a huge asset to the teams in the KC area and beyond to have such a top quality off season event to sharpen our skills. |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Early registration ended September 14th. According to the CTTD website we are at 42 of our 48 team capacity. It will be nice to play with the St. Louis crowd since we will be missing many of you at the KC regional this year.
Any word on rule changes for this event?
|
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
It looks like the rule changes will follow the IRI rule changes. This link had some info on it.

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
We welcome all who have registered. It will be great to see the team from Vacaville, California. Also a big welcome to Ames, Iowa. We hope you enjoy our venue. If any problems, let one of the Team Driven people know and we will try to help as much as possible. We look forward to having a great time and seeing some good matches.

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Can anybody give me an idea what time this event might finish on Saturday evening? I'm just working on a trip itinerary.
Team 967 should be able to attend this event, and we are looking forward to our first ever off-season event. This event should feature a great field of teams. Maybe this will give us a guess at just how tough the 2012 Kansas City regional would have been as a Week 5 or 6 event full of teams with competition experience already under their belts. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown

Looks like they are aiming for a 5:00 end time, including awards. Many of us will have new drive teams that are just getting used to the speed of competition. On occasion key members of a team may graduate and those left behind struggle with maintaining the robot and its programming. And then there will be those surprises where the robot and drivers have actually improved over the summer. Either way it is a great event and seeing our out of state friends like 967 make it even more special. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
As of 9/24 we have 47 FIRST FRC teams registered. We have also just opened the registration for 16 FIRST FLL teams for a 3 round scrimmage. We are looking forward to hosting all the teams competing and haveing a great time. Rule changes will be updated on CTTD webpage soon. Email for option of pre-ordered meals will be sent to coaches soon.

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
We should be getting done around 4:30 5ish.

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
This is a crazy idea I had, am would like to propose.
At CTTD, I would like to put together a "Robot Style" (Gangnam Style Parody) video. This would mostly consist of me and some others dancing through the pits and stands, and some robot footage at the "ayy, sexy lady" part, but I would like for maybe a big group of many different teams to do the ending scene, where there are many people Gangnam-ing (This could be done in a Hotel, or maybe the arena, although I do not know the specs of where we are competing.). This is just a concept, and might not fall through, but I think it would be an awesome and fun chance to meet many people and produce a fun FIRST video. Edit: PM me if you are interested |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Rule changes on http://cttd-robotics.com/pages/compe...on_information
1. +5 pounds allowed. Honor system, unless the referees question you. 2. No Co-Op points. Ranking based on win-loss and the existing tie-breakers. 3. Alliances may balance 3 on their alliance bridge during qualifications. Three robots balanced is worth 40 points. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
The field of competitors for this year's edition of the Cowtown Throwdown is impressive. I wish I could make it to KC as a volunteer or spectator, but my day job calls me out of the country that weekend.
The Bomb Squad have owned every Rebound Rumble court, starting in KC. Can anyone stop them? |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Do any Driven members know when a rough match schedule would be released? Team 2410 would like to propose that one of our matches, if the other five teams in the match accept, that we be part of what would be considered a "Girl Power match." Sort of a miniature of the Girl Power off season event, where the drive teams, HP included, consist of all girls.
What say you, people of Chief Delphi, particularly those attending CTTD? |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Match schedule will not be released until after registration on Friday Nov. 2nd,

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Cowtown is almost here. There will be a few places you will be able to watch the live stream of the event. During the competition it will be on the Home page of the Cow Town ThrowDown. You will be able to access the Ustream Channel as well. The Blue Alliance will also have the feed as well.
I hope everyone is just as excited as I am. The new venue is going to be great. See you all 5 days. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Since Team 2410 is bringing a smallish contingent of students to the Friday competition, is there any team who would like to share their scouting data for that night? If so then please PM me and we can work out some sort of compromise. Thank you!

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
I think we just have our drive team (1 driver, 1 operator, 1 coach, 1 human player), 1 or 2 mentors, and whatever other students legally fit in a van. Not exactly the ideal scouting crew.
I've got some pre-event scouting done (Season record, event(s) attended, individual event record(s), awards/positions won/held) and working on average match score. It's slow work when you don't know how to parse TBA data with a program. :/ |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
As the days count down, I am excited for this years ThrowDown. Sorry I've been in a rhyming mood since last night. The email I sent out to the FLL teams were riddled with them.
With that being said, please feel free to swing by the cafeteria on Saturday between 9am and 12pm to watch this years FLL challenge. I have also invited 2 JFLL teams to attend so everyone can see what that program is about also. I will also have a RFP form for local teams that would be interested in possibly hosting one of our JFLL Round-ups this year. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Just wanted to offer up our help for any teams that will be a bit short on people-power especially during that first night of competition. We should have several students there and we would be happy to share scouting data (one caveat: some of our scouts are new to this). Also, if you just need someone to help set up or move stuff around, come by and ask us. Look for the team in the killer bunny hats - 1939.
See you there. Looking forward to it! |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Just wanted to let teams know that the Kuh-nig-its should have a couple of extra team members around on Friday evening for any of you who may be a bit short-handed. We are happy to share our scouting data (with the caveat that we are breaking in a few new scouts). Or, if you just need a hand, help moving something, or setting up, feel free to come and ask us. We'll be the ones in the killer bunny hats - Team 1939.
Looking forward to seeing you all there! |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Time now for the Thank You's:
To Team Driven: Thank you so, so much for holding this competition. The facilities were excellent, and the help was amazing. The step into a bigger facility to hold more teams was an excellent idea and made for some interesting competition. To Team 1802: You were an amazing first pick and were just spot on the game. Your defense on the other side helped out more than you can imagine. Your balancing in our first match was definitely a saving grace. I thank you immensely for that. To Team 3928: The showing you put on during Eliminations clearly showed everyone why you earned your Rookie All-Star award. Your over the bumper collection system paired with your pioneered swerve drive are a deadly combination. I personally believe that you are the Midwest equivalent of Team 4334. You are definitely going to be a strong contender wherever the wind may take you. To Team 1710: Wow I'm amazed that we managed to snag you as a backup robot. Definitely a dark horse of the competition. You put on a strong show during competition, and we take full responsibility for being unable to push you back over that barrier. *Edit: And yes Aaron Koscielski, this is my 77Who! post. |

The volunteers were great, and the quality of the experience was nearly as grand as the Kansas City Regional. To our partners: 1094, I can't believe this was your first event win. With the quality you guys put on the field every year this was long overdue. You helped us make double balancing look easy, and your autonomous was spot on. You were the top team on our wish-list and more than lived up to the expectations the scouts had when listing you so high. 3172, you owned the defensive side of the field. Your bridge tipper allowed you to cross the barrier efficiently and once you arrived the fender shooters were at your mercy. Picking up the loose balls was no pick-nick for the other offensive robots either. 3284, your strategic advice between rounds was very valuable, and it was a great comfort knowing we had a team with such a winning pedigree in the wings supporting us. To the alliances we faced: Quarters : 1730, 2346, 1810, 1939 Your autonomous in the first quarterfinal was super impressive, creating perhaps our closest match of the elimination rounds, and forcing us to change our own autonomous strategy. Semi-Finals: 3528, 1806, 1985, 3485 After champs we didn't want to see Up-Next on the opposite side of the field again. Seeing 1806 start to hit shots more consistently didn't give us any comfort either. 1985, we can't believe you fell that far in the draft... almost far enough. :rolleyes: Finals: 16, 1982, 3612, 1775 Facing a World Champion, especially when they have a partner on their alliance that they teamed up with earlier to give us our only loss in qualifications, did get our strategy team fired up. This time we had the defense to make the difference. 1982 was a great pick, and one of the most consistent shooters in the entire field. 3612 and 1775 both had the potential to make big plays. This was the last tournament for our Rebound Rumble Robot, and while it may have some life left as a STEM ambassador, the team can't wait to see what the GDC has in store for us next. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Up Next had a blast at CowTown ThrowDown. Thank you so much to Cerner, Lee's Summit High School, Ruskin High School and all of the volunteers. After being shut out of last year's event due to it reaching maximum capacity at the Cerner facility, we were so looking forward to competing this year. We don't know how we got so lucky to have our pit located right in the gym, but thank you to whoever placed us there.
It was so much fun facing off against teams we hadn't seen since week 1 last year in KC and those we faced in the Championships. We broke our bridge tipper in the semi-final round on Curie and have spent the better part of the summer/fall replacing it. We were relieved to see it held up through this one final competition. Many thanks go out to our alliance partners 1806, 1985, and 3485. Our scouting mentor has been impressed with 1806's autonomous and shooting abilities all year after playing with/against you in both KC and OKC. 1985, we too were really surprised you were still available in the draft when our turn came back around again and were glad to get you before 1986 did ;) To our opponents in the quarterfinals: 935, 2345, 938, and 1987 After playing with RaileRobotics in the the qualification rounds, we knew you could be a real offensive threat. K.A.R.S. has played against us in both KC and OKC, so we figured they would come across and play the tough defense they gave us in OKC. Facing the 1986 alliance with their partners 1094, 3172, and 3284, we knew we had a tough battle ahead of us. That pesky defender 3172 did an effective job of keeping us from scoring. Team Titanium has set the bar pretty high for Rebound Rumble. We came up just in their shadow in KC and now at CTTD, but will savor those Curie quarterfinal matches for a very long time. :cool: It was a real honor to play with and against the World Champion Baxter Bomb Squad. You have built an amazing machine and it is so much fun to watch that robot easily maneuver every challenge presented in Rebound Rumble. We are looking forward to traveling to the Razorback Regional to see what you have created for the 2013 game. Finally, thank you to all the teams who voted for Up Next 3528 for the Cerner Industrial Design award. We had so much fun thinking outside the box with our scissor-lift, dumping robot. We have been very proud that "Wilson", our robot, has served us very well this season. Looking forward to 2013! Sharon Up Next 3528 |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
I would like to thank the planning committee and all the volunteers, Cerner and Team 1730 for such an awesome event. Our team really enjoys off-season events, and we had a great time at this one!
We were pleased to be selected by Team 1986 as their first choice as an alliance partner. We knew we were consistently scoring, but were not ranking as high as we had hoped. The competition itself was inspiring for our students, especially the rookie team members, and the win on top of that is just awesome! It was a great competition and I want to send a big thanks to all that worked to make it such a smooth running event. I'm sure we'll be back again next year! DeAnna |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
The 5th annual Cow Town ThrowDown is in the books. Team Driven and the planning committee would like to thank all those that attended this year and help break in the new venue. The final count for the event ended up with 45 FRC teams, 12 FLL and 1 Jr. FLL team in attendance.
A big thank you goes at to all those that supported the event. This event could not have happened without the support of the Cerner Corporation, Lee's Summit R7 School district staff, AndyMark, all the volunteers, and our champion Lee's Summit High School Principal Dr. Faulkenberry. The janitorial staff was amazed as to how things worked and how clean the facility remained. They went into the bleachers after Friday night to clean and did not find any trash. They commented that this never happens after a sporting event. So thank you for leaving such an impression on folks that had never seen a FIRST robotics event. The planning committee will be meeting in the next couple of weeks to recap the event and make notes for next year. If you have any comments please private message me your comments and I will take them to the committee. We hope you had a great time and will look forward to seeing you again next year. |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Team 16 had a great time at the 2012 Cowtown Throwdown. Thank you to Rex and all the planning committee for holding a wonderful event. The new venue was great and filled with very impressive teams. We enjoyed the Friday night matches and I was pleased to even get home last night before 10 pm.
Congratulations to Champion teams 1986, 1094, 3172, and 3284. Seeing the joy of Team 1094 on their win was one of my best FIRST moments. 1986 had one of the very elite robots of Rebound Rumble (and, I am not just saying this because they beat us :] ) and all of the GKC teams have really grown into a competitive bunch. Thanks to our alliance partners: 1982, 3612, 1775. It was pretty exciting to be on an alliance with another Arkansas team. And we are looking forward to seeing a lot of our KC friends in Fayetteville next year for Razorback. And, going against better judgment, props to my son on his first outing as the platform driver. The pressure starting showing a bit, but not until the finals... |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Well, better (a week) late then never, but thanks to all the volunteers, referees, mentors, and students that made the CTTD possible this year. Also, a thanks to team 1730 and Cerner for hosting the event.
Anyway, a huge congrats to teams 1986, 1094, 3172, and 3284, on winning the event, and rightly besting us en route to the finals. Tough defense from 3172, great shooting from 1094 and 1986. Our alliance put up a fight, but it just wasn't enough. Great job to every single one of you, and hope to see you at KC (and I'm pretty sure we'll see 1986 at OKC) next year. 935, 2345, 938, and 1987. I, for one, had jitters going up against this alliance. After getting quickly punched out of Oklahoma by the K.A.R.S. in the quarterfinals, and our general inability to get out of the quarterfinals at either regional we went to this year, I was fearing yet another event where we look so promising leading up to the tournament, and fall flat on our faces (hopefully only metaphorically if at all.). Great job, you definitely kept us honest in not being able to let up for a second. Also, just going to sneak in a reminder to K.A.R.S. about our ongoing programming meetings. Thursday, 3PM, working on the same project as last time. 16. 2012 FRC World Champs. With how hard it is to get to Worlds, let alone win, you guys deserve all the hype and respect you get around the FIRST community. Congrats, and see you next March. To our alliance, 3528, 1985, and 3485. You all did a wonderful job, no, a spectacular job. Despite being defeated by the aforementioned 1986-lead alliance, we went down swinging for the fences, and made a show out of it (Hey, gotta keep people interested, right?). Thanks for all the support, kind comments about us and our robot, and excellent execution of our strategy (Forcing the other alliance into 18 points worth in penalties, 1985? That's turning defense into offense if I've ever seen it.). Though I guess 3172 found the huge hole in our "let's keep them from coming across the field and defending" strategy. Alliance Bridge. Ah well, what are you going to do? Anyway, glad to see all the teams there and have a last hurrah for the 2012 robots before we all have to turn around and start focusing on getting things in place for next year. (Like having massive amounts of saran wrap piled up in the shop, just in-case there's a water game next year.) See you in 2013 (or next Thursday in the K.A.R.S's case)! |
Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Any update on videos for those matches being posted to the blue alliance?
I'm sure there are plenty of matches to do separate, and the uploading takes forever, just wondering how or if those turned out. -Thanks |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Although I mainly focused on our robot, so I could toss a hit tape together for our team, there might be some of other robots as well. If so, feel free to use them and credit us.
View videos here and photos here. Also, does anyone know why TBA results don't show up on our team pages? I'm kinda surprised that it doesn't appear. |
