05 World Wide High Scores
 

I created this thread in order to keep track of the high scores for 2005.

Can anybody post the high scores at the competitions so far?
Please include the winners score and losers score, also if you know the team #'s that received the high score also post them.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Wasn't paying that much attention... but the highest score at Peachtree so far is 53 or something... Sorry I don't know anything else.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

76 in Rochester.

4 rows and a bunch of randomly stacked tetras.

Don't know what teams. I'm not at the event, I'm just relaying information.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

High score at VCU:

I think blue had all the rows.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

VCU 98 with a 10 point penalty don't know match number or people

they had all the rows caped and random tetras on others

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

VCU Match 28

108 - 10 = 98

vs

2 - 10 = 0

98 to 0

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Was there any scoring during auto in that match?

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

There were no vision tetras. There may have been a magnetic tetra knocked off though, I'm not sure.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Its match 28, 108-10 for blue alliance, for a whopping 98 points.

In autonomous mode, my team (401) capped a side goal, and in turn knocked down a tetra. The rest was suprising, since the score of the red alliance was terrible!!! They nearly got a tetra capped at the end, but they didn't manage to.

And Ogre, you have the red/blue team listing switched. ;)

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

has their been a low score? the last match i watched was 4-0, don't know what teams.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

VCU had several 0-0 scores in their early qualifiers due to penalties.

To my knowledge, no one has scored a vision tetra in autonomous at VCU. In two matches, vision tetras were located and picked up, but they ran out of time

I can't wait for Central Florida Regionals next weekend. I know of at least one team that has a 50% chance of capping the center in any given match.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Just got back from BAE Granite State Regional and the high score was 70. We had lots of penalties flying all over the place..definitely affected the win ratios.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I watched match 28 with the score of 98
If you think about it... it's not really that much... they had one tetra on eaach or in each goal... the only reason they had the top of everyone was because the other alliace couldn't do anything.. so 3 robots... capped 3 a piece.. I don't mean to be rude but from what I've seen at VCU this is rather boring. Sure there were a few good matches but overall the play today was ... well... not impressive at all. It''s almost upsetting, I hope teams are more organized tomorrow and work better with one another. You really had to see VCU today to understand.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yes, my team was greatly destroyed by 346,345, and 401. Our job was to play defense against 3 bots who all could stack, but someone on our team "fixed" something that wasn't broken, and our keys popped out of our shafts and we couldn't drive. At that point we stopped trying, and it didn't really matter. Sure they greatly bruised our ego, but they got 0 points just like us, so it doesn't matter.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Aye. We lost a match because one of our alliance robots was simply touching a blue tetra in the back center goal. 13 point swing.

Lots of penalties. Lots of stupid penalties. Lots of penalties that are weighted too heavily.

Lowest score, incidentally, was 3-0. Lots of losers have 0, so I don't know how that is going to affect Ranking Points.

Collman--must agree on the boring factor. Certainly not as exciting as last year.

--Petey

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

We scored 1 out of the 70 points (autonomous whacker). Yay! :)

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

At our regional some of the battles have been exciting as the recapping of goals goes back and forth. Many rounds are very close. there is a lot to keep track of.

When they listed the rankings by win/loss, we look bad BUT if anyone noticed that they now have a column for how you rank based on your points scored...we jump from 46 up to 13 because we can score but keep losing by a few points. Hopefully teams choosing alliances will notice how well we score and not just our win record.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

One thing ive noticed heavily is heavy score diff, one side gets a LOAD of points, the other gets squat. I remember seeing a 56-0 match and a 26-6 match. This is going to be an interesting few weeks.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

The majority of matches are boring, yes, but some are very exciting.

One bot at Peachtree (M'Aiken Magic) seems to have a tough time using their arm, but they are amazing at defensive strategies. In one match, M'Aiken Magic's bot immobilized the entire opposing alliance, leaving the other two bots to cap at their own leisure.

In another match, two bots (don't know what teams) with arms were battling each other in order to cap a side tetra. They wrestled for a good minute and got entangled. One fell and pulled the other down.

In my opinion, the most exciting parts of this game comes when robots are playing "defensively." Also, I think the penalties are worth far too much and many times are over something very small. Our highest score was something in the high 50's, so a 10 point pentalty is a pretty big chunk of that score.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Well, I know we didn't get the highest score at VCU, but I think we were one of the teams to get some of the highest QP's from the losers, and probably by one of the smallest margins too!
match #12, i think, we (1132) and our partners (769, 447) won over the other alliance 26 to 25. Not a bad jump at all. I think that another issue playing a role (at least at VCU) thats causing some low scores is some of the judging. Now, don't get me wrong. The judges are doing a fantastic job this year, and I congratulate every one for being able to score possibly one of the trickiest games to date. Now, based on our interpretation of the rules, if a goal is not capped, the highest tetra underneath the goal owns the goal for the alliance. Well, here at VCU, it doesn't. Apparently, the judges (at least in all our, and a few of our friends matches) have only been counting tetras on top of goals toward forming rows. I think that this is killing alot of play, and quite a few team's strategies, especially those who are very efficient working underneath the goals. It also places much more emphasis on capping. Some of our matches, however, both us and our opposing alliances couldn't understand what was going on with scoring. There was even one match where they forgot our 10 pts for being behind the line. I know that these conditions may seem rough, but I still say the judges are doing great. Even though we're playing with a different interpretation of the rules, it still makes for some interesting gameplay.
Oh, and for those wooing over not-so-much action and not-so-much auto action, watch our 3 matches tomorrow. If all goes as planned, we will be among the ranks of 1 or 2 teams who can accomplish this autonomous feat...
Its not vision... (sorry dave! were still crackin on it!)
Keep your eyes peeled... ;)

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

So far this morning at NASA/VCU there have been "considerably" fewer penalties... I am thinking that the teams are paying much more attention and it is paying off. It was stated that the number one seed starting this morning, made it through yesterday without a single penalty. It just takes effort.

Just an observation. :D

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Sacramento's highest score so far has been 78... Highest penalty points: 70 (?).

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I concur with your interpretation. According to Section 4:

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Peachtree managed an 81 in the semis

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

300 penalty points at VCU for one alliance. :ahh: :ahh:

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Which luckily turned out to be a typo. It was actually 30 penalty points.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

That makes much more sense. I couldn't think how 300 penalty points could even happen.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Today in NH the high score was 79. and some of the most exciting matches were in the elimination rounds. Great defensive moves and lots of good strategy...the crowd went crazy.

Fran
Team 166

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

OH yea? Well, 811's got you all beat.

Match 2
Us: 3
Them: 0

:p

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

WOW 98?!?!?! I can barely believe that!!! thats just crazy!!
Now we have to wait a whole month until we get to go to our competition... i cant wait!!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

there was an 81 at the peachtree in the semi finals. that team got first and is reppin in the nationals.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

This hurt us severely this weekend at Peachtree. We were in several matches where the loser (both in matches we won, and matches we lost) ended up with 0. Hurt us a lot in the rankings, as it put us at the bottom of the teams with our won/loss record. I hope that FIRST looks at this for next year, as with the large penalties this year it is really easy for an alliance to end up with a zero, and that isn't all that fair to both the opposing teams, and to the other teams on their alliance. I spent a lot of time this weekend explaining to our team members why we were so far down (due to the zero scores).

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

191, 340 and I can't recall the last team at the moment.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Er, the cappers? 639 :)

The only other time we played with GRR, we got 65 pts. After the 76pt match, we played with 191 again and got a 6-0 win. Quite a contrast.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

yeah.... team 121, 126, and 350 pulled a 79 match in semi match 1.2 ... if gael force moved there arm (which would have been 2 or 3 more seconds) we would have had a score of over 100!!! so it was wicked close and we are hoping to beat it at nationals :D

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Besides High scores - what was the highest stack made on the center. At Rochester it was the Division by Chicken Due fighting each other in one match with 11 total Tetras stacked on the center goal.

Ellery

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

11? on center? I must have missed this one, I saw them fighting for a side one the first time they met against each other and there were 9.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

was that our (766) team?

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Not only did we have 78, BUT we were 2 darn seconds away from capping that corner goal to give us all 9 goals controlled, which would have given us 111 (unless im being stupid, which is always a possibility). O well, it was good enough

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

yeah that was a rough match when we lost 79 to like 13 or something in the semis at the BAE... 213 broke, 529 didn't have an arm, and we just played terribly... but what can you do... but it was awesome that during the regular matches we (88) scored from 70-80 points 4 times... wooot!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

The score from match 28 is true. I'm one of the mentors-builders for
team 1610. (mb) I was in the seats and scoring teams while that
match was going on. 401 i think came in number 1 and is going to
nationals. we were the no.1 rookie team and were invited to nationals.
616 our alliance partner during quarter and semi finals is also going
to nationals. we came in 5th,616 9th.

401 has a arm that not only goes up and down,but turns on a turret
side to side. they also have a very good auto mode. our auto
works and we picked up a tetra, but it needs some tuning.
we did get a tetra up and over a goal (center) in auto once,but
the time ran out, this was before we went to vcu.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

BTW if you want a really high score....how about 300....but for penalties.
during one of our later matches our alliance was mistakenly given
a score or 300 for penalties, but was later corrected to 30.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

btw again....for the michigan folks.....Sparky 384 did very well during
the VCU regional. In the end though they were attacked during one
of the quarter final matches, had a little bit of bad luck and their
alliance partners came up a little short.

They seemed to be one of the ones to beat. Sparky can take
a good beating too. They had their arm damaged and came bad
from it in no time (during a earlier Sat. match) and came back
and did well.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

:-\ in our first match the refs accidentially took 30 points from our score when it was sopposed to go to the other team. They wouldnt change it afterwords :(

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I wont say this is a boring game, because it isnt. Week 1 may have been packed with low scores, and TONS of penalties, but by week 4 or 5 scores should increase a good 10 points per match as teams get used to avoiding penalties.
Even during day 2 of competition the scores went up significantly. Especially during the elims, where penalties happened FAR less than during the qualifying matches.
The bottom line is, the final match in VCU was a 1 point win, and usually, that means it was one exciting match.
The way this game is designed, the best, and most exciting matches, wont be the ones with incredibly high scores. Because to get a high score, you have to own almost all of the goals, and that typically would mean it was a pretty lop-sided match. The most exciting matches are going to be the ones with scores like, 29-28, 38-35, ect, where both alliances are going to have a row or two, and then it comes down to the amount of tetras in play. The 98-0s, or the 76-10s, while 1 team will get excited, the audience will not feel the same way.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I believe the highest scoring match that was decided by only 1 point was a match with 217, 229, and 1370 (i forget their opponents) winning a very close 38-37 match. Congrats to all teams involved.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

The highest score at VCU, the 98 shocked me. I saw tetra's EVERYWHERE. I forgot the other two teams besides 401.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

345, 346 were 401's partners. Trust me, I had a bird's eye view of this "match"

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

heh heh... we lost that semifinal match at the Peachtree Reagional 81-14. it was because our robot broke at the beginning and couldnt lift a tetra.

before that match, our team had the highest score of 59-1 in a qualifying round.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I don't recall this match, and also know that we (229) never played on the same alliance as 217. However, in the second match of the semifinals: 1507,772,229 vs. 237,217,340 I believe there were 25 tetras scored total.(That is if I counted correctly) That averages 5 per team since 340 was a solely defensive robot, however it was not the only defense played in the match. Overall, it was an impressive match to watch.

Eric

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I am the driver for 401 and we were part of the alliances that had the top 2 scoring matches at the VCU regional. Eventhough our 98-0 win with 345 and 346 was awesome, our opponents didn't have great stacking arms so they just tried to slow us down by getting in the way.

The second highest score at VCU was 76-15 which happened in the second round of the semifinals. 401 capped the far back left while 435 capped the center goal with 10 seconds left. Both robots and 122 sped across the field to get behind the line with 1 second left. We had 4 rows, 8 tetras capped, 2 tetras underneath, and the 10 point bonus for a total of 76. This round was against great opponents so I feel it was a better match than the 98-0.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I was there - it was 68 for the Blue Allilance.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Highest for Sacramento was 78, lowest was 2-0, our first match :D . We were also the alliance with 70 penalty points. Not our best start, but it turned out well.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Ah, man, my memory is eluding me. I am pretty sure it was a match with 1370 and either 217 or 229, and I am positive that it was 38-37. I'm not a whole idiot.... just half.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

245 and 766 had the first highest score in Sacramento, even though our team mate 100 was broken. We paired up in the finals (along with 1072) and were in the 70's the majority of the time, and tied our high score once.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

We reached 93 in Israel

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

179 broke a 100 today i think it was like a 113 to be exact, dont quote me on that

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yeah it was 113. Who were the other two robots?

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

team 1071, 69, 271

90pts - 10pt penalty = 80 pts

I think it's a UTC high score?

05 World Wide High Scores
 

Sort of. The 90 points is a high score for the regional, but since there was that penalty, it is only 80 pts. The highest score after penalties were counted was 87 points, by teams 228, 178, and 271. That was a very exciting match, especially since i was arm-driver for 228 :D. But we have yet to see what Saturday's matches will bring!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

At GLR, the highest score I saw (our teams match) was like a 58 or something (no penalies) if I remeber correctly...There were quite a few 40+ scores though. And some low ones, like our 4-3 match...Our robot broke and couldn't do anything the whole match after an alliance member capped one goal..the opposing alliance did the same, but managed to drop one, on accident, or so it appeared, under a goal. :-|

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

GLR's high score (I think) was 62 by our alliance, I wouldn't be surprised I'm mistaken, though - there were definitely plenty of good matches.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

High score at PWN(Portland) regional was 82 by team 1087, 997 and 1566. I think during this round 997 was disabled because of some problem with their robot. So 82 was scored by only two teams.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

That first match was with us, well a win is a win!! 36 MB video here... What a difference from that first match to later matches and now later competitions, by the time of Nats, penalties should be low and scoring will hopefully be way up.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

They just announced at UTC that there was an alliance with the score of 113 today in Florida.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Our team has a small version of the high score... more of most penalties. We got 70 points of penalties in one game without being disqualified or disabled.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

we got 113 at florida regional with a 10 pt penally so it was 123... thx to swampthing :) congrats at finally winning the FL regional

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

S-P-A-M SPAM SPAM SPAM :D

Yeah, it was swap thing...us...and another team.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Today at the Arizona regional my team 498 along with 1492 and 1290 scored 112 to 13 in match 54 as far as i heard thats the nations top score!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

112<113

-Daniel

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yeah, we scored 112, our opponents scored 13, no penalties on either side. In our alliance in the quarter-finals (980, 498, 96) we came close to all 9 again, but 980 got hit by our opponents and dropped the tetra to cap the middle of our opponent's row, so we finished the match with 84. Both were crazy matches.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

112 is just crazy, how did you guys ever manage to pull that off?

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

980 was a great team and you guys had an excellent alliance. I still can't believe we managed to pull it out on you guys in the semis....absolutely excellent match. Well played!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

All 9 goals capped, one of them twice, and two tetras underneath goals. One of our opponents was a second or 2 from capping one of their home goals and reclaiming it. It would have been great to have gotten that last cap in the 2nd match and have two 100+ point matches. We still had 4 of our matches over 60 points though. I just wish we could go to another regional or nationals, we had virtually no practice for this regional.

That was an awesome semis, it should have been the finals, was alot more exciting. If we could have gotten that last tetra off of our arm it would have been a tie for the 3rd game!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

At the Pacific Northwest Regional, my team (492) along with team 1595 and team 604 scored a 92 in quarterfinals 1.2 and scored a 89 in finals 1.2. Those were the 2 highest scores at our regional.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

At the Great Lakes Regional, we got 74 one match. At the time, it was announced to be the highest score, although it might have been surpassed later on.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

122 in AZ! 1492 was one of the allaince partners!!

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

112. We already posted on that. It was 1492, 498, and 1290.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Here's a link to the 113pt match with us, SPAM and Cutting Edge

Spam 180 scored our home right in auto. 845 scored middle left, home center and home left. We scored center, middle right and the opponent home goals. Then were on our way coasting home but bumped spam and didn't fit in. Also someone drew a 10 pt penalty. But we also had a few lower goal scores also.
So had we fit in and not drew the penalty that would have been 133.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Hey, we've had a score of 114 at Boilermaker today, all tetras owned by blue, it was so cool! So 123 is the highest score so far??

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

There was a score of 120 - 0 at Chesapeake today.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

we may not have hit 120 or 122 but we are pretty happy with the 114 that we hit in our first qualifying match of the day at the boilermaker. Team 703

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

March 18, 2005-Boilermaker Regional

114 pts by 1024/16/703
103 pts by 111/71/?? (10 penalty points)

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

120 Points at the CHESAPEAKE REGIONAL

TEAM 1027
TEAM 1507
TEAM 225

Every goal is capped plus extra tetras on and under goals, a huge offensive performance by our alliance.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

121 at chesapeake in SF #1-1 by 173, 1027, and 53

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

I believe the highest at NJ today was 100, in the quarter-finals, I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

So what is this i heard relating to "Chesapeake" "Jeff / Dave" "High Score" & "Krispy Kremes"

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Dave declared that he'd give a box of Krispy Kremes to all teams whose alliance scores over 120 points today. That happened in a semifinal today.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

i want some KKD

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

The high for Detriot was 121, with us (245 - Adambots), 217 - Thunderchickens, and 301 - Probots

They also announced at our regional that Hammond scored a 132, so I'm pretty sure that's national high.

[edit] -- I heard this was "announced" through word of mouth, so I really posted it here in hopes of some kind of conformation? Does anyone know?

2005 - Detriot Regional Winners -- With 217 and 301
2005 - Sacremento Regional Winners -- With 766 and 1072\

[edit] : PS, I want some KKD too.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Chesapeake Regional 2005
What ever happened to that steak dinner Dave promised to the team that could get a score higher than what was it umm 112? or something. If I'm not mistaken 2 matches after that promise the challenge was met.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

At the beginning of the Friday awards ceremony, it was announced that the alliance would receive exactly "a steak dinner", as promised. How they split it would be up to them.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

A team in the 120-0 win was 1027 (we were in it on the losing end but I am not mad because of GP and the fact that they did so well was just so cool). So during Fridays award ceremony he reminded the alliance it was one steak dinner and how the alliance chooses to divide it is their option. So 1027 get's a part of a steak dinner and 2 dozens KK's.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yeah im pretty sure that the score of 100 was the highest and it happened in the first quarter final im pretty sure but i know it was the number 1 alliance 56,237,and 303. i think before that the puerto rico team (im not sure on the partners) had the highest score of 78 during the qualification rounds congrats to them on their first trip to the new jersey regional. hope they come up again

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yeah we were also on the losing end of that match.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

can anyone tell me if anyone has gotten a score of higher than 121 in a finals match....we did 121 with 217 and 301 in our 2nd finals match Q-2

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Teams 173, 1027, and 53 scored 121 points today in semifinal play, but not more than that.

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

Yeah us here on team 1027 are really happy

We got the two high scores (120 with team 1507 and 225) and (121 with team 173 and team 53), which does mean that "steak dinner" and the 2 boxes of Krispie Kremes from Dave.

To add to it out alliance of us, RAGE, and Area 53 won the Chesapeake Regional without losing in the Elimination Playoffs.


But what is up with this high score in Hammond, where is that? Can anyone verify???

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

1027, 173, and 53 absolutly destroyed us in the semi finals... I gotta admit we just got beat by a much better alliance... We figured we had a good alliance but obviously not as good as future national champions... Those teams were amazing to watch through out the day...

good luck...

Re: 05 World Wide High Scores
 

"Hammond" is four time national champion Team 71 in Hammond, Indiana. They played at, and won the Boilermaker Regional this weekend with 1024 and 269. I can't verify the 132 score, though.
