Re: Amazing robot plays

the strange thing with the camera the last two matches in the finals was that at that point everything should have worked but for some reason didnt
i have to give credit in that last match to our alliance partners 229 and team 1567 for their key shots and awsome play as well as our human player who sank 4 shots in the last match

Re: Amazing robot plays

can you guys post video of these plays

Re: Amazing robot plays

at FLR:

Kudos to our Chuck drivers. About mid day on Friday, we got hit in automode, pinned perfectly between a corner ramp and the the platform. It took about half the match, but to my surprise they got it out. Of course, none of that compares to the "Wall of Shooters"

Re: Amazing robot plays

I would have to say one of the most amazing plays at FLR would be the High Score Match of 109. Just imagine 229, 1126, 340 all lined up to shoot at the free-for-all round. As the light turned on bam! all the balls went either to the goal or out because there was so many balls going in one area! was amazing.

Re: Amazing robot plays

ff1610emt, I understand that your are excited that you won a regional, and we acknowledge this victory, but this is no excuse to start making acusations about other teams. We did not need to make any repairs on our robot during the entire regional event other than resetting our frame's lexan shielding, hence the GM Industrial Design Award. In gracious professionalism it is not acceptable to say that you damaged someone intentionally, and then inserting a smiley. While we respect your team and your robot, we feel that your comments are unacceptable and, above all, false.
In gracious professionalism,

Team 384

one is during our final qualifying match one of our alliance partners(620) was DQed for a unacceptable modification to a wire. so that left us with two bots and not having to worry bout a back bot. so the match was now 3 bots to 2 bots. the other alliance had teams 435(robodogs and very good shooter) and 343(our later alliance partner in the championship rounds) both of thse bots had treads and awesome shooters. well my team won defense first and both bots on the alliance went straight for 435 and 343. while the other team was pushing 343 around, i went after 435. while pushing 435 back i hit 343 and started pushing both teams back and away from the center goal. then at the end of the match i was trying to get up on the ramp but i couldn't(which was a good thing)because 435 trying coming in behind us but our teams robot slid off the ramp and hit 435 keeping them from shooting.

my other favorite match was the very last match in the finals (finals match 1-2) when the 7th seeded alliance was going against the 4th seeded alliance. the blue alliance was 1610, 343, and 1598(7th seeded alliance) and the red alliance was 384, 435, and 1522(4th seeded alliance). during that match the teflon on the right front wheel of our robot was coming off so i decided to play defense and i was ramming 384 and 435 non-stop to keep them from shooting into the center goal.(the match before this one i damaged 384 so badly that they had to take a timeout to repair their robot :D ) my alliance ended up winning that match along with the regional. can't wait to see 384 in atlanta.

Re: Amazing robot plays

During the Quarterfinals at BAE, our team consisted of 3 different autonomous modes (our (319) center goal shooter, 562's lower goal dumper, and a defensive mover by 176). The other team had two center goal shooters and a dumper. The autonomous went like so...

The two shooters on the other alliance went for the goal and the dumper had a delay that was going to go for the lowergoal afterwards. 176 went straight out and pushed one shooter into another, throwing both teams' aim off. 176 then continued to push them into the dumper stopping their robot from scoring also. Our robot went up and scored all 10 balls in the center goal, and 562 dumped all ten of its balls in the lower goal. We won the autonomous part of the match 50 - 0.

Sigh... Glad you are proud to damage their robot.

Yes, that was one of my favorites. For everyone who hasn't seen 254's robot this year, they only shoot when they are up against the wall on the ramp right in front of the goal. Well, after the first Finals match had been played everyone saw the power of 254's design, once they got lined up under the goal they could pop about twenty balls in to the center in about ten seconds. In the third Finals match (Cheesy Poofs' shooter malfunctioned in the second, so they lost) 360 decided to keep 254's robot from getting in position, by sitting under the goal exactly where they had to be to shoot. 254 got their alliance partner, 753, who had treads, to get up on the ramp next to 360 and shove them out of the way, then back off and give the Cheesy Poofs a chance to get their shots in. It worked great, and sealed the match. Amazing teamwork!

Oops, my bad, it just looked like the bot was blocking the view of the camera from where I was sitting. Well there goes my whole post.

Re: Amazing robot plays

Some of the best play I have seen at AZ: a rookie team, with possibly the weakest drive at the regional (2 CIMs, 2 wheel drive, two casters, kit tranny), managed to keep 60 from shooting any balls at the center goal in the fourth period and forced them to go corner. I forget who won, but it was the craziest thing to see this veteran team get pushed around by one of the newest teams in FIRST.

Re: Amazing robot plays

I think one of the coolest plays i saw at VCU was in the quarterfinals when Sparky 384 was against the Tigertrons 222. 222 is famous for driving up on their opponenets ramp to score lots of balls in a row,thus increasing their score tremendously (this was during qualification rounds).

During the quarterfinals, Sparky decides to play hard defense on 222 by getting up on the ramp and blocking 222 from scoring. It was a very risky play but the crowd was going nuts. They actually prevented 222 from scoring their full load, but they may have gotten 1 or 2 in.

The next best thing after this play was when Sparky tipped off the ramp on its side, but their alliance partners 1522 came to hold them upright on the ramp and helped them back on their wheels. As soon as this happened, Sparky came back on offense and scored 4-5 balls in the center goal.

Another interesting thing is Sparky misfired and shot a ball into the crowd, which i happened to catch. The ball came right to me! Nice throw guys, i was definitely alert ;) VCU was a great tournament, and the finals were amazing. 1610,343,and 1598 worked well together. Can't wait to see them all in Atlanta this year.
