lap record
 

Does anyone know what the record for amount of laps is? we were able to pull 10 and 12 (with one herded ball in each) in the 2 minutes out of our two practice matches.

How many laps have other people gotten?

Re: lap record
 

Do that tomorrow, then tell us about it. Practice isn't the same as the real thing. You know, more robots on the field, stressful, etc.

Re: lap record
 

ya practice matches aren't too much like the real thing. we did 17 laps in a practice match at BAE

Re: lap record
 

We got 8 in 1 match including 2 herds.

Without traffic we can do 12-14 in second gear and 17+ in third gear but in a match with all the traffic, stress and pressure those numbers are much lower.

Re: lap record
 

Remember that practice matches are longer than the regular matches, I don't know how much longer, but I think they are at least a min longer.

Re: lap record
 

The first leg of the practice match is 5 minutes (15 sec hybrid, 4:45 teleop), and the second leg is the same as a regular match.

Re: lap record
 

alright so today we got 9 laps first match, 10 laps second match then 11 laps third match

we are ranked 5th (tied for 2nd with 4 other robots and we have the lowest alphabetical name). we are doin much better then we expected

Re: lap record
 

It Doesn't go by alphabetical name, it goes by qualifying score.

Re: lap record
 

really? i was told it was by our name...oh well its still seeded lol so were happy

Re: lap record
 

At San Diego we got 8 laps in one round (plus one in Hybrid)

Re: lap record
 

From Manual 9.3.10:

Re: lap record
 

At the detroit regional we got 11 laps in one match - with 0 in auton.

Team RUSH 27

Re: lap record
 

did team rush also shot over center wall and score hurdle or am i just seeing things?

Re: lap record
 

believe what you saw:D

Re: lap record
 

Greg,

I think that someone told us that the record was 14. I am not exactly sure, but that is what I was told.

Re: lap record
 

We haven't gone for only laps, as we try to play some legal defence in every match, but our driver is amazing, so we have consistently gotten 3 lines in hybrid, with 8 laps in tele. That puts up a good 28 points in a match. When hybrid fails, or we get a penalty, our point yeild drops to 10 to 15, but that has only happened once.

Re: lap record
 

We are purely a speed robot, so we get as many laps as possible. We held the record for most laps at the Wisconsin Regional, and Greg was just wondering what the record overall was. I was told it was 14. sounds crazy, huh?

Re: lap record
 

As an opponent of team 27 in the elimination rounds at Detroit today, I can tell you that I wouldn't be at all surprised if they held the record. :p

Re: lap record
 

Any idea of what it was? :P There isn't much information about anything that has happened at the regionals on the web. I am hoping that the WI regional videos will be posted soon.

I think I will stick with 14 for the record. If it is any higher I will be in awe. :)

Re: lap record
 

Team 1158 was able to turn 10 laps at the San Diego Regional.

Re: lap record
 

Our record is 11...but I don't think we hold that record. I know there are a few faster robots than our robot is. We can go 12 ft/s, so I think that somewhere out there someone could potentially make more laps.

Re: lap record
 

maybe 148 at st. louis had that many or more... i know they fly around the track.

Re: lap record
 

team 2016 did 5 lines in autonomous and 11 laps in one of our qualifying matches.

I think 11 is about the highest I have heard or seen. I think anything above 12 would be nuts... especially with 6 robots and 4 balls on the field. We had 12 the one time but the robot is counted on photo finish so the last lap didnt count.

Re: lap record
 

im pretty sure we got 7 hurdles durring a practice match

Re: lap record
 

well if were counting hybrid mode in there... that would put us at 14 or 15... i dont remember which match we made the full lap in hybrid mode but im pretty sure we made 11 laps in that match w/o hybrid

Re: lap record
 

According to another thread here we had 81 laps!

In all seriousness I think we averaged 5-6

Re: lap record
 

yea i noticed that lol

Re: lap record
 

81 laps in two minutes? Or 81 points? 81 laps is .625 laps a second...

Re: lap record
 

here ya go jd

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=65916

btw it was 81 laps...we really should have added a flux capaciter to our robot and then we could of done that too... but first we gotta get to 88 mph...hmmm

Re: lap record
 

We aren't designed to be a lap bot but at VCU when our lift was broken we made some laps -- our record was a full lap in hybrid and 8 laps in tele. Top speed theoretically is 16fps, though we had some wiring & chain tensioning issues which leads me to believe we weren't ever pushing full power to the drive wheels. It all should be fixed in Philly with some FIXIT's so we'll see what we can do then.

Re: lap record
 

So its soundin like the fast lap bots are goin round 11-12 times during teleoperated only?

I wouldnt doubt that 148 got more then that... they had an excellent robot

Re: lap record
 

I would go far as to say that you guys (930) are one of the top lap bots in the nation this year. Great drivers.

Shame that our only match with you, your PWM cable fell out.

We scouted your top match as 4 lines in hybrid and 11 laps. The laps counted include hybrid.

Re: lap record
 

I'm not sayin we were either. I know there are faster bots out there that just don't use there speed for laps (141 comes to mind right away 20ft/s i think) and 148 (as i said earlier) is probably the best I've seen. Though i haven't watched many regionals so my opinion isn't that strong

Yea that match was not cool at all... we hotglued those suckers in right after that match... we were really dissapointed when that happened. One of our mentors had inspected you and 166 and had said that that match was going to be an amazing one. So yea, honestly i had been waiting for that match all day and yea...

And i know our 3rd match we got 4 laps in hybrid and 11 laps in teleoperated. That was our best match statisticly. My personal favorite match was ummm qualification 63. First one on friday. Apparently I was tired enough to (with a lack of a better phrase) zone out while driving. Which helps because I've found that if you concentrate too hard on trying to figure which way to turn depending on which way your facing that your reaction time is like *bleh*

I'm sure by the end of the season will see, more frequently, 14 laps a match in tele maybe higher.

Re: lap record
 

Ahhh, stupid grammar... I mean't 'would'. You guys were great.

Re: lap record
 

In the eliminations at St. Louis, their maximum was 9 in teleop. You can watch their matches at The Blue Alliance: http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/team.php?team=148

Re: lap record
 

So that would make the high score 11.

Re: lap record
 

oh... well thanks lol

i cant wait till TBA puts up the videos because as a driver, ironicly, i didnt get to really watch the matchs except for what was infront of me. and i really want to watch ummm match 63 because my whole team says that was the most impresive match so yea.

were hopin to go to IRI this year so were plannin on puttin some new sprockets on to speed us up a bit more

Re: lap record
 

Loren said we could up it to about 25 ft/s if we wanted to, but it would become uncontrollable. :P We are theoretically planning on 14 ft/s with the new sprockets.

Thanks for all of your comments, Andy. ;) That makes us first-timers prouder than you could imagine (well, maybe you can imagine).

Re: lap record
 

I thought 14 too but i had no clue who that was from... go 930:D i still think 11 was pretty impressive

Re: lap record
 

yea probably... unless you had some nice, complicated coding in there :yikes: but i don't think I'd put that on you

Re: lap record
 

25 ft per second?? i think that would be outright rediculous with the rough way that we have it controlled....oh well we will just have to see about indiana :)

Re: lap record
 

Just take out the gearbox and stick your wheel on the end of your CIM... That should do the trick...

Re: lap record
 

Ok well with week 4 regionals pretty much here i wanna see some lap posts of people saying i got 12-13 laps because i am seriously suprised that the highest is 11

Re: lap record
 

I am almost positive that lap count includes autonomous. Kevin will have the videos from the regional up soon I'm sure. i know he is working a lot right now, so please be patient.

Re: lap record
 

I scouted in St. Louis and team 148 had some wild qualification matches that were over 10 laps. I will be looking for them in Atlanta.

Re: lap record
 

From SVR, I think I have reason to say that 190 can make one lap in less than three seconds.

Of course, I only witnessed one match where they got more than one lap, but I'm a Pit Crew/pit scout/scout-when-I-can person, so that may not be accurate. As for actual robot-around-the-track laps, I'm sorry to say my memory is a total useless fuzz. I do remember that our robot's record is more like six or so. We hurdle. Mostly. :)

Re: lap record
 

Just watched our video of this match. We got 4 lines in hybrid then 11 1/2 laps in teleoperated. Our third match on friday.

Re: lap record
 

Team 2468 got three lines in hybrid today and then 10 full laps in teleoperated at Lone Star. We can handle the ball but we had a microswitch go out right before the match so we just went for laps. We also pushed the ball across the line once as we passed our homestretch.

We top out at a little over 15 fps.

Re: lap record
 

so whats everyone gettin for laps on the end of the glorious day (btw where i am were gettin 14inches of snow)

Re: lap record
 

we have our drive wheels on a direct drive with 2 cims per side, gets us about 18 fps

Re: lap record
 

Take a look at the last twenty five seconds of this clip. When it was time to go for laps, three in twenty five seconds, the first with a hurd and the last lap done in about seven or eight seconds.

Re: lap record
 

Yea you guys could probably rack up an unreasonably high amount of laps and ruin the fun of all the lap bots :p a shooter...doing more laps then a racer... haha jk so how yall doin in west michigan? tried to watch one match, first time i turned on it was you guys about to start then a 25 min delay and i was like yea...

Re: lap record
 

so how'd week 4 go? Any bots with 12 or more laps?

Re: lap record
 

well in wk 1 in nj 381 could only pull off 2 lines and 8-9 lines in tele

but

in philly my old team pulled off a full lap almost every match ( we had 14) and
there were a couple of times (like 3) were they had 5 lines, and on top of that the driver somehow got better with three weeks of not driving in between to get 10-11 almost every match . not to mention this robot only goes 12 ft/s.


and someone posted earlier about it not being controllable at 25 ft/s with the bumps in the middle, i beg to differ, our suspension system worked wonders for us and we were in the center lanes the whole match

Re: lap record
 

At the off-season tournament, Beantown Blitz, this last weekend in Boston 1519's Speed Racer scored 7 lines in hybrid and 13 laps in teleop, for a total of 14.75 laps and 54 points. This round was preceded by a match boasting 8 lines in auto and 10 laps in teleop and followed by a 7 line, 11 lap match. I believe this is particularly impressive given that this is Speed Racer's first time competing. I believe video of Speed Racer will be coming, but for now a student's word will have to suffice.

Re: lap record
 

I vouch for this. Saw the whole thing happen while calling play by play.

Re: lap record
 

The promised video of the round with 7 autonomous lines and 13 teleop laps is now available on the team's webpage at http://www.mechanicalmayhem.org or http://www.team1519.org

You can go directly to the page with the video on it at http://www.mechanicalmayhem.org/teamvideos.asp

Enjoy!

PS: As Nathan mentions, this was the first tournament in which Speed Racer competed -- during the regular season, only two practice matches were driven at the Granite State Regional. So far this offseason, Speed Racer has only been a "substitute" robot at WPI's Battlecry -- Beantown Blitz, however, was the first tournament in which Speed Racer actually competed, as "Team 9151".
