I understand the desire to make sure your machine is in top condition, but this is a violation of <R21>. Just a heads up.

Quote:
<R21> At the competitions: Teams are allowed to repair, modify or upgrade their competition
ROBOT while participating in a competition event. To support this, teams may bring
SPARE, REPLACEMENT and UPGRADE PARTS and COTS items to the competitions
(within the limits specified in Rules <R30> and <R31>). Work can only be done on-site in
the Pits or at any facility made available to all teams at the event (e.g., in a team’s repair
trailer or a local team’s shop offered to all teams to use). Fabrication may be done when the
Pit area is open for normal operations during the period starting with the opening of the Pit
area on Thursday and ending at 4:00PM on Saturday. All work must be completed when
the Pit area closes each evening. Parts cannot be removed from the competition site and
retained overnight after the Pit area closes.
Good job today. You've got a great robot.

I didn't know about this.
Won't happen again.

Overall SVR has been an interesting experience. I am really proud of 488 so far, the robot is more or less functioning as designed. It is tough depending on other teams for scoring, despite how easy you try to make it for them. Would I have advocated building a lifting robot if I had to do it again? Probably, but either way it is a lesson learned. Hopefully as the finals approach people will understand team's abilities despite the match performances. The match pairing algorithm is frustrating for most.

Finally...now the rankings are actually useful for scouting purposes.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 
We did very well yesterday (5-1-0)
We were against 254 for two times during the Qualification matches, and either game was with super good robots, we thought.... "AHHH there goes our ranking" but surprisingly we won both, and both are so CLOSE!! Luckily for us , we got on the ramps both times, so thats 30 points by itself!
out of the 5 matches we won, 2 matches we had ringers stuck on our lift so we couldn't touch other ringers, and 1 match our ramp was hit by another robot, so it fell out in the beginning, so we can't "score" anything, good thing i think 2024 put a couple ringers and among with our other alliance , so in the end one of our alliance got on our ramp so we got to win the match. With our ramp design, we can still move and adjust position even with the ramp down! And when we don't need our ramps, we can easily detach them so our robot would be lighter and faster and it would be easier to climb on other ramps!!
during the match that we lost, it was like one on one considering our only alliance got DQed , but we still did pretty well, put we 3 ringers in a row, which was pretty good.
so of our 3 "no-problem" matches, we score 2-3 ringers.
we added something to the lift so ringers can no longer get stuck on the lift!
hope we can score a lot more today

Currently ranked 3 (the last time i checked at least), but we still have 2 more matches to go!

Good Luck everyone!!

It still is.. I'm wondering if they are on lunch break or something.. I mean it is like 1 or 2 there isn't it?? (I have no idea just so you know)

Edit: hahaha it just started when I finished this

Did the webcast just skip for anyone? I was watching the end of 254's match, and waiting for the score, and then it jumped to the end of 190's match, which ended in a tie..

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 
Yes.. That happened for me too. I think that 254's alliance won (because of my own calculating). But I don't know about penalties so I don't know for sure who the winner was.

WOW! I was able to tune into the webcast just now, and I still can't believe it. The Cheesy Poofs just got knocked out of the finals! History has just been made in the Silicon Valley Regional!

They still did a wonderful job though.

All I can say is, Wow!

The laws of probability have been (somewhat) restored in California. Congrats to the eventual champions, and also to 254 for sustaining such an incredible run.
