Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
good game...good moves by the robot that tipped and picked itself up
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
A few observations from the hour I watched.
-Filler line worked great, a lot of full matches. -3 Hurdles Per ALLIANCE is good, much less per Robot. -Laps make HUGE difference because of the few hurdles Granted its practice day and a lot of team arent going all out but the scores were in the 20's. High thiry's and forty's is a great score. |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Who was the robot that got caught on the overpass?
Joey |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Which bot was that? I just got home from school and my first impression of Overdrive is a bot righting itself 15 times...oy vey.
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
I think they kept tipping because their arm wasn't made to be on that side. When trying to lift themselves up, the arm was on the opposite side they use it on. They would right themselves and then try to pass the arm over the top to the other side, it was to heavy and caused them to fall...again...

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Practice days may not be the FIRST playlist, it may be people's CDs being played. I've read that from past threads in previous years. But I could very well be wrong. Either way, it is bad.
DaveF, I'm sorry you had to apologize to a group that you sent the URL to. That's really bad. Jane |

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
I only got to see 3 sets of matches. I noticed that teams were not really hurdling. If they did 2, it seemed like a lot.
Bots making laps made a difference in the score, but only because hurdling wasn't really taking place. Was it really that hard to do with traffic? I didn't get to see team 25. How'd they do? There was a post earlier that if an alliance can do 3 hurdles in a match, that's good. I find it hard to believe that only 3 can win a match. Comments from teams that competed today??:D |

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Be the music situation as it may - the robots were awesome.
It is wonderful to finally see 6 robots take the field...just wonderful! Kudos to all the teams! |

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Wow, the first real look at the new game. it was impressive! Congrats! to all the teams who have taken the field. I was surprised how difficult it was to hurdle. I think the highest score i saw was 58 with 3 hurdles for the winning team.
My biggest impression so far: hybrid is going to be HUGE this year. |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Well after practice day and as a queuer I can honestly say today was confusing... partly b/c of something new that FIRST is trying out. If there was a no show team another team that was fully & passed inspection could take that spot. Nevertheless everyone by the end of the day had been on the field at least once :)...
Alot of good hurldlers, racers.... not many IR users though:confused: Aside from that I can't wait to queue up you guys this year... Good Luck to all the teams and Don't forget 1) MAKE SURE ALL BATTERIES ARE SECURED & CONNECTED 2) ROBOT IS ON 3) YOUR CONTROLS ARE PLUGGED IN 4) and most important of all BE GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISTS & BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!! CYA alll bright and early tomorrow |

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Ok boys and gals, here's my .02
I'm surprised no one's mentioned 103 yet. IMO they're by far the team to beat. 449's scissor lift is pretty slick, and 102, 1547, and 303 are just speed demons. It'll be interesting to watch tomorrow, I can tell you right now that there are going to be some matches that will drop jaws. With that said, I'm off to get some dinner and bed, because tomorrow is going to be nuts. |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Obviously the music selection is more important than making sure the field is set up properly... :rolleyes:
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

Not being biased or anything, but I must agree that I am surprised no one commented on the speed of 102 (except for George - thanks!! haha). But according to my team's scouting, 102 is by far the fastest robot on the field at 27fps - next closest was about 22fps. I also must agree with George that was 103 was very good as well - they are very good in hybrid mode. Matches will be shocking tomorrow... many surprises might show up that you didn't expect. Hopefully you all watching the webcast get a good show tomorrow :) |

A few members of our team affectionately nicknamed it "Plungy" and "Speedy" haha:p |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
27 fps :ahh: Thats over 18 mph!
I can't wait to see 102 in action tomorrow! |

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but what is up with all the control boxes being knocked off!? did they change the driver stations? I don't think I've ever seen one knocked off from a blow to the wall. I guess it's just a higher speed impact in this game? I'm not sure, but I think ref's should allow teams to catch their boxes... or we might have a very boring finals of whoever has controls left... On that note, anyone notice the amazing catch by the team in the second to last round? it almost hit, and they caught it with an inch to spare! it was beautiful. Kudos to those reflexes! |

Yeah ours started to fall off but we are going to have it fixed by tommorow. Good practice matches today all.

Yep, do catch the OI if it's about to fall. Read the last line:

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
I think it's going to be interesting to see how useful speed becomes with 6 robots on the field.
One of my earliest thoughts about this game is that speed may not be as big a factor as it may seem from the onset due to traffic jams. We'll see! Good Luck everyone! |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
2016 driver coach here,
Sorry about that guys, my driver and operator are still getting used to the controls. I am trying to get him to be a little more evasive than bump and go. We will try to do better today :) Cya there. |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Anybody knows when does the webcast begin?
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Anyone know if the match list is out yet?
Cheers |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Is the webcast not working for anyone else? I'm having troubles connecting :ahh:
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
I'm having the same problem. I caught part of the drivers meeting, and then lost connection.

Update: Stream is UP! If it goes down today and you don't see me reply, IM me and I'll make sure everything is sorted out. |

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
Bah! Lousy internet.
|
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
The midwest regional needs to start playing games, then there should be a bit less load on the NJ webcast.
Edit: The midwest regional has started playing games. Edit2: It'd be really cool if they got Obama to speak in Chicago, but he's probably busy in Ohio/Texas. |
Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
when it comes back up after going going, down, it tries a couple times to play the last bit that it showed before....instead of starting off at the current position.
