[FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

What high scores are team seeing out there?
What competitive advantages are teams seeing?

At the Montana qualifier there was a team score of 266.

Competitive advantage thoughts:
- A robot that can score autonomous block in IR crate after/before alliance partner
- A robot that can hang after alliance partner hangs
- A robot that can score at least 12 blocks

Baseline:
- All robots should lift flag
- All robots should hang
- All robots should score in autonomous

Was that without penalties?

Penalty free I think we were in the 150s 2 weeks ago.

289 done today at the Qualifiers.

Austin Qualifier on 12/7 - the two high scores of the tournament both came in the same game in the semifinals: 317-288. No penalties for either team, so it was a rockin' match! Interestingly enough, to the point of the poster above, in a later finals match one of the alliances did pull off a double hang in endgame - saved them from elimination.

The highest scores I've seen so far are from the Oxford PA qualifier we went to.

Q24 with 356 points and SF1-1 where our alliance scored 322

The highest score I have heard of was 420 points scored at a Pennsylvania qualifier two weeks ago. :D

Do you know which event this was at? I don't remember anything that high from the 2 we went to.

Re: [FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

What was the alliances strategy? Double lift?

Re: [FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

We're not seeing any scores over 300 in VA but we're seeing close scores with both teams in the 200s.

Re: [FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

We were practicing at a competition before the matches started and we were able to get 212, and we were practicing by ourselves too!

Re: [FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

We had a match at the FL Championship where we scored 385, but it should've been 435. Our double hang cut slightly into the other alliances zone - although it didn't count as blocking their hang, one of our two robots was not credited with the hang leaving us with 385 instead of 435.

Re: [FTC]: Block Party - Top Scores
 

I think a team made up with a strong defensive bot and a strong block scorer will do very well against a team with 2 block scoring bots.

We think a defensive bot can disrupt the opposing alliance from scoring enough that our alliance can leave block scoring period in the lead (all things being equal). Also a flexible defensive autonomous strategy can ensure that an alliance leaves auto mode ahead (maybe not with MAX points).

A sophisticated defensive strategy can be very disruptive. With the key feature of a defensive bot being high traction.
