I have only one thing to say. 33'S HUMAN PLAYER ROCKS!

He just hit like 10-12 in a row to totally fill their stationary goal, leading to a
140-70 victory for their alliance in the first match of the finals.

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

OMG that last match had incredible shooting with the Killer Bees' human player. He made EVERY SINGLE SHOT! They got 18 balls and scored 140 total. They had 1 robot hanging and no capped goal.

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

That last match was AMAZING! Big pile of robots on top. i can't wait for the result.

EDIT: Blue alliance #3 won. If 616 had 3 more seconds they could have hung and won.

its Dave! i didnt think we would be seeing him here

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

Quite suprising....90% of the bots in the tournament rounds were hangers...but in the end to 2 alliances that made it thru were both lead by ball gatherers. Team 165 was the lead of the of the other alliances and seeded first. They were also a ball gatherer altho not as effective as 33 (seeded 3rd) and thier shooter was not as good. Seems like the small balls were underestimated significantly by many teams.

Another crazy round was quarterfinals round between 2nd seed and 7th seed, in the second match..alll 4 bots hung.

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

We were up there on the bar when there were 3 'bots and 4 (last one up both times). The one with 3 'bots was actually harder, as the opposition did a great job of blocking. It looked like a sword fight with 10 foot swords, and we only got hooked on in the last 15 seconds or so. We kept overshooting, undershooting and getting tangled with another robot's arm and the goal. We were driving on two wheels part of the time, but managed to get back upright just in time. Quite exciting, let me assure you!

Our drivers were a freshman and a sophmore who was quite ill with whatever was going around there at VCU, so we're very proud of them. Congratulations to Tan and Paul!

Any one have awards standings for the competition?

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

*look at sig*

Our main arm driver was vomiting all of last night and today, our team head was sick, one kid went to the hospital early in the morning, our human player was ill, I was sick, our main driver was sick, our student team leader had a feaver, and one of our mentors was out for the day. AND WE STILL AND SPIRIT! :D ;) :p

Read the Dave Lavery hint thread and the VCU Thanks and Congrats for more info.

Re: VCU COMPETITION STATUS
 

They destroyed the balls and are dousing the reuseable field components with Alcohol in hopes of keeping that stuff in check. My sympathy for any and all who had to compete at such a disadvantage.
