Most matches for a robot?
 

Our 2014 robot, Becca, finally retired after the 2015 Madtown Throwback with 151 matches. 971's robot Mammoth and 254's Barrage probably had about 20 less matches because they either were in fewer regionals or off season events.

Robots in district regions such as Michigan and MAR that go to IRI may get in 120 matches. Off season events might add more. Are there are robots that have gotten up to 150 or more?

125 in 2014 is up there, but I don't have an exact number.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

Our (125) 2014 bot was probably close. I think counting the crap ton of replays we had to do we had hit 100 by DCMP, I stopped counting there. I know by IRI I was curious if the bot was just going to fall apart. And I skipped out on most of our off seasons because I was sick of events. TBA has us at 135 but is missing at least the Week 0 event (I think there were 10 matches here), 4 replays from Groton, 3 from RI, 1 from NEU, and River Rage.

1640's 2015 robot has 91 matches listed on TBA, but TBA is missing it competing in Ramp Riot, Duel on the Delaware, and MidKnight Mayhem. They might have competed elsewhere, as well. Definitely north of 120 matches.

I decided to count it up for 1058 this year, and we are at 120 matches despite only making it to finals twice all year. We could've gone to two more offseasons but decided not to for outreach events instead.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

125's 2014 robot is a very good candidate.

I'm estimating 1519's 2015 robot, King Tote-em-Can-um had about 145 matches at events this year, between Week 0, 3 Districts, DCMP and CMP, and then 4 off-season events. I'm guessing this was probably our team's "record." We used to go to more off-season events, but have never been to 5 competition season events plus Week 0 before.

1477 had 122 in 2013 with 4 regionals, advancing up to einstein, then 3 offseason events.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

Wow. That's substantial.
Have you ever considered building more than one robot, perhaps in a way that they could fit in each other and still come within the size/weight limitations, to alleviate wear and maximize match strategy?

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

2014 had to be 910's season with the most matches.

Three districts, one regional, MSC, the World Championship, MARC, and IRI are listed on The Blue Alliance and put us at 122 matches.

I can't remember if we did any other off season events that season. I think we may have gone to at least one more.

TBA has 195 down for 109 matches in 2014.

However, this doesn't include matches from Suffield Shakedown, Where is Wolcott, Bash at the Beach (and i may be forgetting another...). The addition of these (and any replays) would probably put that robot close to 150 as well.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

Pretty sure this was a great year for robot longevity, given the lack of robot on robot action. Now 150 matches in a year like 2014, 2013 etc...that really would be quite a feat:D

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

I feel like if you're considering week 0 and offseason events, then practice matches should be considered too. For some teams, that could add around 20 extra matches a year if not more.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

TBA has 341's 2012 robot down for 100 matches between all season events (2 districts, 1 regional, 1 DCMP, CMP), but that robot also competed in 3 off season events (Brunswick Eruption, Duel on the Delaware, and Ramp Riot), as well as many demonstrations, so it has at the very least 130 matches played.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

Killer Bees 33 are down for 99 matches in TBA (if I counted right) and that doesn't include Kettering Kickoff or Bloomfield Girls this fall.

Re: Most matches for a robot?
 

1241 2014 is probably up there, 4 regionals + champs + 2 off seasons
