195?
 

A question to all, was a the Max QP (without a DQ) a team could get this year of 195 ever hit at a regional/championship? If not I think it could be done at IRI with the right combination:

Red-
1 Goal
35 Balls
2 Robots

Blue-
2 Goals
25 Balls
2 Robots

[edit] Final Score 65-65 Red would get the win with 195 QP [/edit]

This would require every ball on the field to be placed into a goal and all robots to get/tether back, could be a challenge but it'd be awesome to watch....

I think so
 

Thats gotta be it cause thats exactly half the points for each alliance. But im not sure which team would get the win. O yeah MMR Alt Finals will be AWESOME. 93 and 269 will prevail!!!

Re: I think so
 

Win would go to red....tiebreaker #2, most balls in scoring position...

New IRI Registration!
 

We have a new team registered for the IRI. It is team 382 - Twisted Blizzard - from Columbus, Ohio. Nice of you guys to join us! :cool:


That makes the list to 27 teams :)

our 28th team is now in. RAGE Robotics has registered!!


IRI is 2 weeks from today!:cool: :D

Sweet......
 

Wow

I thought IRI registration was pretty much dead, guess not. Maybe we can get to the number of teams everyone had originally talked about. Hopefully none of this messes up the amount of matches that we are having or the way the finals are going to be played out, oh well i though...the more the better :)

Oh my, it just keeps getting better, competition will be fierce :D

OO this is really getting good

I need people to start coming up with reasond why my parents should let me go to IRI. I'd be coming with RAGE, which is a long drive. Their reasons for not allowing me to go are:

1) I haven't worked enough because of my arm. I was out for awhile while my arm was healing. I'm taking like four days off for a wedding in august.

And thats the only reason i remember cause i was too pissed of at them when they said i couldn't go.

I need some good counterrpoints before i try to change their minds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bargins!!
 

The first thing i would try is to make as many bargins as u can. Tell them you will go above the call of duty to do whatever once you get back from IRI, but make sure you keep up your end of the deal. You can try telling them it's a "once" in a lifetime chance, especially this year since you are national champs. You could try telling them by going it could possibly help out in the long term by meeting people in the "industry" (possible jobs?), maybe try to get business cards, etc. to show your parents...

(Are your parents looking?) You could lie and say that if u dont go the whole team suffers...;) (dont know how well that would work, maybe you've already tried it)

Hopefully all goes well so all of us over here can see the true RAGE team. Too bad i dont have the money to next day Fed Ex you a ladder so you can get yourself out of the hole you've seemed to dig...
