Re: Secret Sauce: Shot to Human Player
The refs at the NC Regional are known for being extremely knowledgeable, so I don't think the Zebracorns have much to worry about.

If I was this team I would Create a hard stop alignment device just drop it and drive into the corner... Awesome design!!!

We might yet add something to prop us in the corner but it doesn't seem to matter much from what we saw in Palmetto. A team would have to devote 2/3 of their alliance to keep us out of both corners, which kinda swings the match in our favor anyway... Not to mention that we can always load the ball over the top of them. We are a fairly tall bot. We nearly won Palmetto with this... we are hoping to win the NC regional. |

I used a canon Rebel T1i with a 50mm f1.8. I handheld these shots without a strap or rig. However, I do have a homemade steadicam. I used it with my iPhone to shoot this video recently: http://youtu.be/76lFi5nRXNc The T1i only shoots 720p(shh don't tell anyone it's not full HD :P) |
Re: Secret Sauce: Shot to Human Player
Pardon the necromancy but has anyone seen this done with a decent goalie bot?

Re: Secret Sauce: Shot to Human Player
As far as doubling up goes, 900 has been playing hard defense whenever we aren't setting up/shooting. Pushing other robots around seems to work better than putting something in front of the high goal though, especially when smart teams decide to go low goal instead.

Mixed feelings are mixed, while I feel it is a very strong strategy I just don't see how it isn't being countered hard. If you have it working though nothing wrong with that. |

Ramming us continuously was half working at NC but we have a solution for that. Your confused look is the same as ours though. What is even more perplexing to us is the lack of teams doing this same strategy at other regional events. We know that there are two or three others that can do it but aren't regularly. Ideally, we could literally park in front of the opponent's goal and then shoot straight to the other 1 pt goal and have another robot put it in without any human players being present. It's hard to wedge us out of the corner once we are in it too. |

We don't need to peel you out of the corner if being in the corner is detrimental to your team. Every opposing robot that is sitting in a corner is one less robot we need to worry about disrupting a cycle. |

We ran the math on all of this right after kickoff and came up with a strategy that has paid off for us. I'm not going to claim it is 100% effective in all cases and I know it can be disrupted. Fact is, it won us a regional and an engineering award and we have had a blast doing it. I'll take that any day. |
Re: Secret Sauce: Shot to Human Player
Congrats to team 900 on winning the Raleigh regional! I really enjoyed watching your robot launch the ball so powerfully, and your team's strategy was amazing.
I have one question: when did your team have the idea of passing the ball over the truss to the human player? Did you plan to build your robot to shoot the ball that powerfully during the build season, or did you realize that strategy would work well during the competition? (I'm assuming the former.) |
