Only 11 teams registered for Mayhem?!? This is a great event an I hope it fills up fast. There are many good teams around New Hampshire that would be fun to compete with.

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

How is SMART Robotics attending both events?

Only 8 days to go now and still 4 slots open. Chop Shop always does a great job at this event and there are some very good teams signed up. If you are not going to Beantown, what better way to spend a Saturday? For us it is the last event the seniors will attend as students on the team.

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

Thanks for the update! Hopefully the remaining spots will fill out... Mayhem in Merrimack is always a fun event!

Wish I could be there to support the event and my team... unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to be in multiple places at once! ;-)

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

Thanks to Chop Shop and all who were responsible for another fun event!

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

Would you mind posting who won?

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

if it was 2 team alliances, I'm gonna guess 1519 as 1 seed with 131.

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

Close... 1519 and 1289. 1735 (Green Reapers) and 467 (us) were also in the finals. We tried, but just can't block a full field shooter (without fouls, that is ;) ).

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

Was 1519 the 1 seed?

Re: MAYHEM in Merrimack 2013
 

1519 would like to thank the Mayhem in Merrimack host team of Chop Shop 166, as well as all of the other organizers and volunteers. We had a great time at the event, which was run smoothly and made for a fun time. The world-class volunteers (lots of CMP volunteer experience in the volunteer crew!) make this a great event.

We also appreciated the chance to run a 2nd robot to get the tournament closer to 16 teams for 8 alliances, as the 2nd robot gave us a chance to have more students experience being on the drive team. We ended up using all new drivers, with our CMP drivers being the drive coaches.

Thanks also to our alliance partners, 1289 The Gearheadz -- we don't think we've ever been allied with your team before in eliminations, and it's always fun to make new friends!

Since folks have been asking about seeding rankings, I figured I'd post what I have. I don't actually have the seed rankings for all teams, but only for the 7 alliance captains. I also have the alliance draft results and the elimination round results.

(To clarify for those unfamiliar with Mayhem in Merrimack, this tournament runs in a 2v2 fashion, ending in a double elimination tournament for however many alliances are present, to accommodate other than 8 alliances. During alliance selections, picking of other alliance captains is not permitted. Since there were 14 robots participating in elimination rounds, there were 7 alliances, and the alliance captains had to pick from amongst the robots in seed positions 8-14.)

Elimination Round Seedings, Selections, and Results:

#1 Seed - 1519, picked 1289, finished 1st
#2 Seed - 1735, picked 467, finished 2nd
#3 Seed - 138, picked 1922, finished 5th/6th
#4 Seed - 501, picked 1721, finished 5th/6th
#5 Seed - 9151, picked 151, finished 4th
#6 Seed - 131, picked 3323, finished 3rd
#7 Seed - 238, picked 3499, finished 7th

FYI, "9151" was 1519's 2nd robot, which was not an FCS, but rather our "Ri11D" (robot in 11 days) which was a feeder-station-loaded cycler of less than 30-inch height with pneumatic 10-point hang. When the students on 1519 learned that the tournament might not be full, they wanted to build a new robot design as an educational experience. They took the drive base from our FCS practice robot, rebuilt it with different wheels and sprockets for faster speed, attached the practice robot shooter at the height/angle for shooting from under the pyramid, and mounted a pneumatic 10-point hanging mechanism. It worked pretty well, but really needed some practice time before the tournament to get the bugs out before using it.

Thanks again to all who made the tournament possible. Our only suggestion for a future improvement would be to work together with the Beantown Blitz organizers so that the tournaments aren't held on the same weekend anymore. Attendance at this tournament is limited by the two events being held on the same weekend -- we always used to love going to both events!
