Thanks for the comments for 386! I can't vote yet as I haven't seen videos of all of the choices (the link offered in post 1 is down).

As for speed, I'd say 386 and 1902 were a tie provided that we (386) didn't need a retry. As for consistency, I'd have to give that one to 386 with a 13/14 hit rate (92.85%) on Archimedes regardless of what they did to the rack (and they seemed to twist and translate it EVERY time when we were on the field).

We only missed the first qualifier, but a simple distance tweak fixed that. We were drifting off to the left for a bit, but another small target tweak brought us back into the center. We ended the competition with 100% in the 7 elimination rounds on Archimedes.

As the alliance captain of the finalists on Archimedes, we were the backup 'bot for the division on Einstein. We did check the lighting and alignment on that field and found it to be within our tolerances (lighting was perfect, alignment was close enough).

I suspect that the "brand new field" on Einstein was the cause of 1902's failure to score. The other playfields had bungie's that were steadily stretching causing the spiders under the lights to skew steadily to the side for which we all adjusted our targeting. If you had checked Einstein closely, the spiders were very straight under the lights for the first time since all of our first regionals.

i was wondering that too!!!

i think that we hit on like 85% to 90% throughout the whole year(maybe a little high but im just guessing)

but ne who:D

I put my voice in for 1902, the accuracy on that hog was outstanding. I would also like to give my honorable mention to 386 with the "cool" factor. Many teams have Easy Buttons in their driver station, but not many teams have a functional Easy Button on their robot that they use as a sensor for autonomous mode.

I'd love to view the videos and post an educated vote, but the site above has been down for days. Any alternate link to the videos?

The correct link is thebluealliance.net.

The actual link is www.thebluealliance.net but i cant edit the first post
any advise?

I am putting together a video of all the various bots auto modes. See the thread below:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=57184

I already have collected myself 33,39, 79. 116, 340, 341, 386. 424. 1629, 1730, 1902 which came out of this discussion.

Go to the thread and add your URL to your video to be added to the video we are making. Please read the rules.

i vote 1126:D as well, why are they not on the list they were consistent

is it just me but is the web site down

Re: Poll: Best Autonomous(read the 1st post before voting)
 

1902 dropped theirs every other time I saw them in Vegas and Atlanta. 39 hit their autonomous every single time I saw them in Vegas and Atlanta. I didn't really pay attention to the others. I admit that I'm only judging on accuracy, because in the end unless you can score twice in autonomous or have something extremely valuable to do afterwards, speed & coolness don't matter so long as scoring happens.

340 comes in a close 2nd due to their auto-code's correction after they were "defended" against in Atlanta. That showed true camera calibration and state control, something that's hard to master without several run-time iterations of obscure scenarios.

If you consult some of the video posted on the Blue Alliance and SOAP you will see that 1902 was actually more accurate than 39.

Re: Poll: Best Autonomous(read the 1st post before voting)
 

I would have said the opposite--I don't think 1902 missed more than once (maybe twice) the entire competition at Vegas

I have been working on a video of the autnomous robots. Here is a post on an update:

I have the first rough pass at the autnomous video. Go to this thread for the url and discussion on the video.

Once we get the final I will post for all of CD.
