Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

Our team's Auto mode never once failed to do exactly what it was supposed to... we guarded our starting spot vigorously and never failed to be there ten seconds later....grin

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

176- 10pt dump never failed, 10pts every time

1124- 3pt shots were great an on the money

126- an amazing shooter 2 balls at once, an on a bad match still got 8 or 9 balls in

177- great shooter always did them well

20- 3pts never seemed to fail for them

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

At the Boilermaker 1024 and 1038 both had very good auto modes. Once 85 got their camera working they also started to dominate the match.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

At Lone star 118, 1421, and 1858 had the best autonomous modes. During the finals 118 would get 10/10 in the center goal and the only way to stop them would be to spin them around. 1421 could make all 10 balls into the corner goal from their starting position. This alone would usually let their alliance win the autonomous period and get the 10 bonus points. 1858 could hit the center goal from there starting position and if aimed right they could get 8/10-10/10.

Keep up the good work guys!

494 and 703.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

(IMHO and with as much nuetrality as possible)

VCU had several good auton modes.
435- until they were countered
1610(My team)- Simple, effective, made 7/8 one round with the 8th not exiting in time
1522- Simple corner scoring

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

I may be partial, but Team 70, More Martians scored 10 for 10 and 9 for 10 quite a few times at the Wisconsin Regional. In one of the matches when FIRST was having trouble with field resets we had to start over 3 times. In that match we scored 10 for 10 on the first try, 9 for 10 on the second and finally a poor 6 for 10 on the 3rd (???).

Not to shabby for a new team.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

Have there been any teams that can dump ten balls into the far corner goal? If so, I would definately say they are an all-star.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

we know how you feel in nj we would hit 10 for 10 and there would be a feild reset.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

I was told 364 did, thats why I said it earlier, Not sure if they actually ever did it or not ( whether they could or if they ever needed it. )

Agreed those 10 point dumps if consistent are amazing, 1902 was #1 in lone star and all we did was dump the 10 balls. I believe the team is 98% or something through out our 2 competitions scoring in the corner goals in auton. I believe the missed 2% was a 9/10 score. I think however if you count the scorers there should be some verity in the auton. Maybe being able to score from the 1 2 and 3 spots a defensive mode and a maybe a far goal maneuver?

To nominate an all star defensive auton I would say 710. They would move out in front of a robot then throw up their shot blockers in autonomous disrupting some of the better autonomous bots at Florida.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

135 could make 8-10 balls in auton (unless blocked which they were alot by the end) at BMR. 1018 could make all 10 balls in the corner goal early on at BMR.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

We had the code to go dump into the far corner goal, but we never had the need to do it. We could make 8-10 points regularly in the near corner goal and were usually the only team on an alliance that had a working autonomous. So we stuck with the near corner. It worked out best for us.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

213 had 3 auto modes, straight forward dump, across field dump, and reverse defend. Our straight forward auto mode was extremely effective, delivering 9-10 balls every time. We used the across the field less, due to it being more vulnerable and problem prone, (it kept getting turned straight into the wall), but after tweaking it (it still had problems once in a while after this) made 8-10 balls across the field when it was set like that. We never used the third mode. I thought it was pretty cool that our programming team was able to utilize our holonomic drive and make it cross the field and successfully dump at all.

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

Team 95 had code for it (in case we weren't in the near-goal position and there was a possibility that our 3 point shot routine would interfere with an alliance mate) but never tried it in competition. Indeed, we had about 15 autonomous modes, only three of which we used in competition (all variants of the "center goal shoot").

Re: Autonomous All-Stars
 

How about some of the defensive auton modes? I watched Foley Freeze, Team 910 come out and do a "fish hook" maneuver on us. They went across the field toward the corner goal and turned sharply right into us. Pretty neat defensive move.
