What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

I recently came across FRC Team 3539's simulator, and after playing it I can say it's ridiculously fun and cool to play with, and also is accurate.

Tips:
Play with a gamepad for best experience but a joystick works too.
You need to refresh the page after each match to make sure scoring works accurately.
Shoot at a 90 degree angle and 7 force near the batter.

My high score is:


I take no credit for anything used in this simulator - all goes to the Byting Bulldogs.

Have fun!

This is actually ridiculously fun. Makes me wish there were more robots added.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

I mad the perfect bot, the only problem is you can't use it in the competition mode, but a very fun and addicting game

At my best in the normal world, i can do 135 Points, partly due to my 50 Point Auto
(I am willing to do an explanation / video of the 50 Point Auto, just ask)

If you turn all defenses into the moat (my favorite defense) then my usual best is 150 with my #1 run being 155.

Tips:
Play at 0 degree angle and 20 shot force
shoot just outside of the defenses and for the low bar, from the line.
with this setting, if you line up correctly at defense 3 at the other outerworks, you can make a full court high goal

this is partly why i got the 50 Point auto to work

If you're able to post that video, consider me interested.

Here is the video for the 50 Point Auto
Sorry for the choppiness, as my desktop recorder isn't very good and i did what i could to improve quality in Vegas Pro. It takes me around 3-4 tries to pull it off.

Im also working on a 60 Point Auto but i have only done it once when all defenses are set to moat.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

My record is 125 playing normal with a two ball auto.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

So i decided to purchase a screen recorder and i just uploaded a video of a 140 Point match (now much smoother) showing off the 50 Point auto better executed (the one in the video, i kinda got lucky)

Here's my 105 point match - would have been higher if I got the two ball autonomous. I also did it on only one set of defenses.

Are there keyboard controls for any of the manipulator stuff, or do you have to use your mouse to drag the sliders around live in a match? That's really the bottleneck for me scoring wise right now - the hacky full power floor shot isn't consistent for me so I'm raising the arm and shooting near the batter for each cycle.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Question, what does it run on? It doesn't seem to be working on my computers.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

You need Unity Web Player, which is not supported by Chrome. It works in IE (in my case) once you install the web player by clicking on the link when you try to play the game.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

It uses Unity, so it's best used in Firefox with the Unity Web Plugin installed.

EDIT: Sniped

I don't really know if there is a map of the keyboard controls for the manipulator functions - I've always used a gamepad which helps for the batter shots - but I think they do exist (I recall mistakenly changing the shooter angle with my keyboard). I'm not at my computer right now so I can't confirm, I guess just try all the keys on your keyboard and see what happens...?

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

I use the keyboard controls as well. I found that bottleneck as well, but it's much easier to just set the angle to 0 and force to 20 and shoot from the outerworks. That's how I'm able to have a 50 point auto and fast high goals.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

There are keyboard controls (forget them off the top of my head but just press every button).

USB gamepad works better though.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Off the top of my head, WASD and arrow keys both work for movement, and E and R move the arm up and down. Don't know if there are any for the scaler.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

F+G for scaler position.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Thanks. Are there any for scaling? I usually have to switch around into third person and click.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Yeah, this is definitely a main problem with it, when you have to change views to actually complete the scale.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

I couldn't find one unfortunately.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Wow. I have an entire new boatload of respect for my own team's driver (not like I didn't already!)
I feel like this is all I'll be doing for a little while... :D

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

How can you guys scale, the scale arm just goes right through the rung for me

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

You pull into the bar backwards, and then when the orange square appears, click it. This only works on the blue tower however, and it is kinda finicky.

Also, I managed to get 140, but accidentally closed the window before I got a screenshot.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

The CDF on the game is a little rough. I have taken it as a challenge and will not quit playing until I master it. Great job 3539, the game is really addictive and surprisingly actuate if you play through the drivers vision.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

If you are using a gamepad you click the right joystick when you are lined up and the the orange box appears.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

Just don't overthink it. Raise the arm a bit, drop it down, then plow right on through.

Re: What's your high score in 3539's Stronghold simulator?
 

What are people's high scores from the driver view? Mine so far is 10 shots score of 95.
