Team list is up! http://www.firstroboticscanada.org/m...ason-Event.pdf

2056 hype.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

I am shocked to see that 1114, 610 and *1241 are not on that list.
*yes I know 1285

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

610 has already committed to competing at Rah Cha Cha on Oct 18th.

We will be sending a number of team members as volunteers, however.

Additionally, members of our Beta Test team will be there to show the new 2015 control system.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

2015 control system :ahh: I will be there for sure to learn the in's and out's, pun intended.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

Who would be the best trusser in this list? Hmm...

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

865 obviously :D

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

I hear your 2 ball autonomous is pretty solid.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

Did you guys get a new 2-ball auto, I'm pretty confident the one on Curie was against a rule - I think it goes to the effect if you have a robot in the goalie zone, its ball cannot be "possessed" by any robot. It however can be placed on the field.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

Try again.

The rule referenced is G5. The portion of that that you're thinking of (the second of three, not counting the penalty description) reads "For ROBOTS starting in their GOALIE ZONE the TEAM may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH."

Mind you, that does mean that as long as that there is light showing between the second ball and the robot (or other similar test), it doesn't really matter how close to the partner robot it is. Also note that if it had been against a rule, the Curie refs would have dealt with it promptly by either removing the ball or applying technical fouls.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

Here's a video, which shows that two balls are clearly in contact with the robot. I'm quite amazed myself that the Curie refs didn't take care of it.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

After seeing the video, I agree, that's not a legal starting configuration for the balls, and should have been a tech foul for starting that way (G5). Apparently the Curie refs didn't agree--one is clearly seen talking to the team. Unless this is a practice match, of course--but MCs don't introduce practice matches.

So,

Best Auto?
Best Defense bot?
Best Inbounder?
Best Finisher?
Best trusser/middle bot?

Your opinions?

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event
 

Our 2 ball was just our one ball with a second ball. We weren't 100% sure on the rule for the 2nd ball (Since we can only do a low goal auto a 2 ball auto is rarely necessary) we decided to ask the ref. They said it was fine so we ran it. No foul was given.

Wait and see? There has been a lot of time between champs and now. Who knows who's changed what.
