Predictions for Season High Score
 

So after seeing the week one and two events, it seems that scoring this year is much higher than last year's game. I'd like to see what people think will be the high scores for this season. So far it's 210 at Central Valley I think, but high 180s seems to be the general trend for champs.

I'm prediction at least 250 at Einstein Field.

P.S. I was going to do a poll, but then decided that they were overrated.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Auto: 60 (1 cross, 30 point 2 ball, cross + HG)
Tele: 45 (Breach Capture) HG to -9 strength= 70 Def=50
End: 45

Total prediction= 270

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

The highest score so far has been made when a robot has shot a boulder into the high goal...

Also, maybe 286
Odds are I'm wrong but if I'm right it will all be worth it.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Autonomous
Crossed: 30 points
High Goal: 30-40 points(3 high goals with a slim chance of 4)

Tele-Op Period
Defenses: 25 additional points from crossing 35 if someone comes up with a wicked easy Class C mechanism(low probability)
High Goal: 100 points from 20 Boulders scored
Scale: 30 points
Challenge: 5 points
Breach: 20 points
Capture: 25 points

Point Total 265(285 under unlikely circumstances)

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Auto-70 including 3 crosses and four high goal shots
Defenses-55 points including breach
High Goals-100 (20 shots)
Low Goals-6 (3 shots)
Scale-45
Capture-25

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

I'm going to guess 260 for the highest score without fouls... My assumptions are identical to Devin's, but with a little less ball scoring and the potential for a 4th auto ball or Class C defenses.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Or 257 at the NEDCMP

Not that slim anymore with 195 CyberKnights in the Two-Ball Autonomous club.

Very close. 257....so far, with 202 in tele-op

21 High Goals.

How prescient. Mayhem missed it by only 3.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Actually by 8, since the post you quoted specified without fouls.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

After watching NE champs. I bet there will be a few matches that exceed 300. More teams will have cheesecaked climbers and autonomous shots. I think there will be matches that have all offensive strategy where each robot scores 8+ high shots and all 3 bots climb.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Interestingly, 27 takes down the drawbridge very quickly, and used this very well during MSC playoffs to get some very high scores. When matches are decided by a few extra high goals or an extra hang, 10 extra defense points from not ignoring Category C are very helpful.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Nobody will break 300 this season. :)

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Check out 4678. Their Sally Port/Drawbridge mechanism isn't that different from other teams' but the software makes all the difference:

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

I only agree with this because when we finally get to the matches where this would be possible (as in Einstein or high powered "world class" alliances) there will be more defense. Teams will realize their only shot at winning is slowing the other team down. If defense was not a factor *cough 2015* then there would be plenty of scores over 300.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

I predicted 270 early in the build season, and I think it will be between 270 and 280 based on the scores last weekend. Probably will be in the subdivision QFs or SFs when the top seeded start getting cranked up. Then defenses will kick in and scores will drop.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

60 pt auton. 20 teleop high goals. Breach, double tap Sally, capture, triple scale. No defense, no fouls.

That makes 285. I think it will happen in a stacked CMP quarterfinal match.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

The current high score of 257 will stand through champs.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

At NE Champs, the #2 seed alliance of 195, 125 and 2168 had multiple runs with a 70 point auto due to 195's two ball capability. I doubt there would be a triple scale in a qual match, but it depends how much teams change between now and Champs.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Agreed. It took a complete lack of presence in the secret passage for 257 to happen, and that quite simply will never happen again. Not to mention an alliance with the quality and depth to find three very proficient high goal shooters like that.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Very true. The programming of our sally port and draw bridge crossing is actually based on the code that 254 posted on their impressive, smooth and precise drive train motion control. We studied how they managed fairly complex motion like their auto in 2014 that allowed them to park up against the low goal before tossing the ball into the target to guarantee they couldn't be defended against.

Thanks to their willingness to share how they did it, we came to realize that the motion control profiles they described did not need to be restricted to just the drive train motors. Our Sally Port and Drawbridge crossings are pretty much automatic (in teleop, the operator just has to hold down a button as the programming goes through the motions). We use a system similar to their drive train motion profiling but we add in the 2 axes of our arm to go along with the motion of the drive train. To program the motion, we took our robot and placed it in front the defense. We manually put the arm into the starting position, recorded the encoder values and then moved the arm to what appeared to be a good "next position". We did this several times and recorded encoder values of the arm and the drive train encoders until we had moved the robot completely through the defense. Then we created code that would interpolate the encoder positions based on time and we just feed new position values to the Talon SRXs for the arm joints and do a similar position control of the drive train (using Victor SP's) at approximately 50 times per second. There are plenty of videos of the results.

Thanks again to team 254 for sharing their valuable insights (and code) on how to get the most out of the robots we build.

Re: Predictions for Season High Score
 

Our HP's prediction- the Einstein finalist alliance will set the high score in division semis.

My prediction- 257 will remain the world high score until IRI.

Lead qualitative scout- 272 in Einstein semis.
