1114 + 703 + 1680 = OMG!!!!!!
Score is coming up soon! |
Re: GTR 2006
Man, you think someone would have figured out what causes the blue alliance to not go in Auto mode. It's always Blue. sigh.
Also, about every 5 matches, a robot loses a battery. Remember, cable ties are your friends! Wrap one around that Anderson connector when you plug the battery in. Oh and secure the battery too! :) |
Re: GTR 2006
WOW! 1006, 229, and 1241 Scored 135!!!!
They got all 3 robots on the ramp and scored over 100 points in balls. |
Re: GTR 2006
Holy crap...1503 and 703 just scored 159.
Not only that, if I was properly paying attention, they still had time to score in the other alliance's goal at the end to raise their average. |
Re: GTR 2006
The high score has just been smashed. 159 points for 1503, 703 & 178.
Wow. |

Re: GTR 2006
hope to see more of those scores, anyone know team 1114s high score yet by the way the webcast is not working. the scores and matches are not up on the web page yet.
|
Re: GTR 2006
The webcast is working through this page, I'm not sure on 1114's high score though. I know that last match they seemed to have broken something but knowing them, I'm sure it will be working perfectly by the next.

I also like Team 4's 'One Day Wonder'. It's a nice collector/dumper and scores in auto mode. Pretty darn good for one day. :) Did their 'real' robot make it yet?

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Hmm, tried that. I'm using WMP 9 for OS X, it gave me an error about the compression while it was buffering, it must have been about the audio. Anyone else have this working on a mac?

Re: GTR 2006
Did 776 make weight? I heard they were about 48# over late Thursday.

Re: GTR 2006
I didn't see today, but judging by the team numbers in that standings list, tommorow afternoon is going to be quite a site. Can anyone tell me what 45 looks like now? Last time I saw them they still had their katapult. Does anyone have pictures of 703?
|
Re: GTR 2006
um from what i saw in 45's last match i didnt see a katapult =X so i dunno if it was for that match they didnt use it or what...

Re: GTR 2006
WE BEAT SIMBOTICS! (we think) ... in a match that was then replayed due to apparent field failure. Then in the end of day rematch we were soundly trounced 39-0 :( Also, we had a lovely match where our driver ( ^^^^^^ ) scored 10 low balls on OURSELF, and the match ended up being lost by a margin of less than 10 points :(.
In other good news, our shooter is finally more useful than a plate of iron from the weight room, thanks to donations of roughtop from team 45. Good job to everyone competing so far. |

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
In a team update, 776 made it on the field, I think for their last match. 4 finally got their robot, but there are rumors that it was ripped up by customs (they had their drivetrain & electronics board all pulled apart near the end of the day). I cant confirm those for sure, but I have seen their big black tower of a robot.
The matches today were quite impressive :) But someone needs to get JVN a segway! And oh yeah, Ricky, my field still rocks yours ;-) |

The "One Day Wonder" was made possible by contributions from many teams at the GTR. Teams 45, 48, 188, 217, 1310, 1379 provided substantial amounts of components and labor. Special thanks to the Thunder Chickens for assembly of the electronics board and design advice. The machine shop folks provided terrific support. Bill Thorne (886) took this mentor shopping locally to find some components we couldn't find in the pits. There were many, many others that showed the true spirit of Gracious Professionalism with their offers of help - this is what really makes FIRST great!! A highlight for our team today was when Woodie Flowers autographed (and kissed) our "newborn" robot after one of our matches. Fortunately, there was a photographer nearby, so we will have some lasting images. During the awards ceremony, I was near the machine shop when I heard Karthik say something he had said to our team after one of our afternoon matches: "Every regional has it's own unique story..." That was my cue to get our skeleton crew working on our "real robot" out of the pits to join the rest of our team in accepting the Judges Award. In our minds, that Award is shared by the outstanding people who make FIRST such a special experience for students and mentors alike. Our students (and others) learned a valuable lesson at GTR in what can be accomplished with teamwork and some persistence. Thank you, FIRST! |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Hmmm, low volume eh. Sorry. I'll make sure I pump up the volume a bit today ;). (Re: webcast volume).
Update: Volume is all the way up for now but if I notice the mixer bars going into the yellow and red again i'll have to lower it. It was pretty high yesterday so i'm a little confused why it would have outputed to you guys at such a low volume. Oh well we'll see in a few minutes... |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
So for the 2nd day in a row I can't get my computer to recognize that the webcast is running. I get "Cannot find the specified file"
I thought it was just network security at work yesterday, but I guess not. Too bad, I would really like to watch this event...I guess I can just keep trying. Rob |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
I cant get the webcast to load either
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
[EDIT]Tom's link works! W00t![/EDIT]
I can't get it running either. I tried Palmetto and that's working fine, so I don't think it's my network blocking out the webcast. |

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Division by Chicken beats 2 triplets @_@!!!!
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
I think 1114 fault was having the two robots that rely on the same things. Yes, they have won two other regionals, but I think the whole "needing the same things" was shown in their last match.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Quote:
Their problem was that they lost auton. They were forced to go on offense first, while not having full loads of balls. Further compounding the problem, 217 and 229 both had all the balls they wanted once their offensive period started, and 1114 was forced to defend against them instead of picking up balls. They just didn't have enough balls/time to score in the final 40 seconds. |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
It was close though. The triplets shooting seemed to be a little off. It looks like teams are wearing their batteries down and/or running their robots too hard. I know my team's robot by the finals had a main breaker that was searing. Too many tough matches after each other and the robot just starts to run inefficiently.
A good way to tell if a robot was running low on battery is if they can't get up the ramp at the end of a match when they usually just pop right up. |

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Yup auto made the difference. A big difference. Division by chicken is going to have to play better auto defense next time to win. Such an amazing match up.
And we could get all three triplets in the finals. If not the 217's alliance is going to have another nightmare on their hands. [edit: Barring any penalties 1114, 1503 and 865 are going to the finals!] |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Triplets vs triplet.............poor 1680.
I wonder if the lone triplet can pull a win off of its two siblings? |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Gotta agree with Karthik -- that's the most exciting set of 3 matches I've seen yet in 2006. Congrats to Division by Chicken.
Now -- three Triplets in the GTR finals! |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Well i am sure they know each others strategies...
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
I have a feeling that 1114, 1503, 865 will win the regional. In my opinion 229, 217, and 4 had the best chance of beating them.
Anyway I wish both alliances the best of luck. All amazing robots. |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
It's too bad that 229 217 and 4 couldn't have met 1114 and company in the finals. Those would have been some of the best regional finals matches in the history of FIRST.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
229, 217, and 4 won the first round against 1114, 1503, and 865. this is the first time i have seen the triplets loose a match. but, they came back to win the next two matches. now i feel that 1114, 1503, and 865 will definitely win the regional.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
something else i just noticed. two triplets versus the other triplet. this should be interesting.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Well its nice that their seeding turned out to be set in such a way that they didn't face each other until the finals.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
i was sitting and wondering and wishing for the same thing...
all... darn... kathrik's intros are so long... but very interesting to say the least... =D |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Woah. 1680 pulled out a win. That match was incredible. So close with so many robots rushing to get every single ball in. The triplets are just dominating the competition.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Finals 1.1 was a amazing match.
Very well played |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
The triplets dominate the stage...............looks like 1680 won due to winning auton.........amazing finals.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Now this is really gettin' good!
[edit]Let's do the time warp again![/edit] |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
And red calls a time out. Did the triplets break something?.........or do I smell a new auton coming?.........@_@ we'll see what happens.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
this is a great regional, maybe the best out-there. A thread about the triplets here
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Karthik has an amazing knowledge of FIRST teams and matches. I love the intros. AS he says, "Every match has story"
The question is, is he just that crazy about FIRST or does he have a crack research team? :) |

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Does any one know what song they were playing right in between Karthik pointing out the triplets were working together and when they announced the scor or Finals match 2?
It couldn't hear every thing but it sounded a little bit tech no and was something like Make it break it cut it paste it... |

loose wires, that really is horrible! |

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
1680 was dead..........I hope we get an explanation.
|
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
It appears that they didn't manage to finish the repairs to 1680. They didn't do much more than twitch that last match. A real shame. It turned what would have been an awesome tight match into a slaughter.
And thanks for that song tip. I thought it was pretty awesome too. [edit: IT appears it was a lose wire on 1680 that stopped them from working.] |
Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional
Congratulations to 1114 and 1503 on making history. Two teams winning 3 regionals in one season. Simply amazing.
That was a great regional. Definitely the best I've seen all year. |
