I believe that a column rating the truss shot to a human player would be useful.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

As in quality/accuracy of the shot?

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Kevin,

Thanks for setting up this spreadsheet.

One question: is the column "Passback to Human Player" meant to describe an immediate mini-pass by the robot back to the inbounding human player (ie. 4334 in Curie elims) or a 20+ ft over-the-truss pass to the human player in the offensive end?

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Or a pass across the field from one human player to the other? (175 in Archimedes elims)

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Yes, but with regard to catching it. For instance, a good shot human player shot would be high arcing and accurate, where as one that would be slightly harder to catch would have a higher power and a flatter trajectory.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

So any idea when we might be getting a match schedule? :D

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

I'm 99% sure "passback" refers to a short range pass from the robot to the HP, such as 4334's trampoline thing or 973's play on Einstein. If your robot can roll the ball over the alliance wall, it can pass back.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

How would one even go about this?
"Rate your truss to HP 1-5?"
Everyone puts 5. No info received.
I'll base how good they are at trussing to the human player on my match scouting data.

You're welcome!

Chris is correct. It implies a 4334/973/2590 passback to the human player.

The pass across the field is something different (I call it a zig-zag pass), but being that any robot with more than a fender shot could perform that pass, I elected not to add it to the spreadsheet.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Regarding the rating of the truss shot, why not include another column with a link to a video showing one? This way you can actually watch it to see how it works and how easy it was for the human player to catch it.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Does anyone know what service the webcast is being offered on?

It affects whether or not we can watch it in shop.

Thanks!

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

What services work in your shop? I would expect justin.tv or twitch.tv to be used as they provide the highest quality streams (60fps 30000kbps 1080p).

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

I know that the FIRSTWA streams used Ustream during the season. I would assume thats what they are using since the systems are already set up for it, but I don't know exactly.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Both of those are banned.

Youtube works, ustream alternates between being banned and unbanned.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

Is it a district-wide ban, or is it school specific? Having worked as my school's student tech, you can ask your school's official TSG/TSC for a temp unblock from the network. For California Unified schools the TSG/TSC positions are considered administration in part and can authorize access to blocked parts of the network.

Re: IRI - 2014 Team Invitations
 

They won't unblock twitch because of nudity.

We get all sorts of other sites unblocked, we've dealt with them enough to know twitch isn't happening.
