Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

I was just floored when they pulled that off. No one it seemed was even going for the ball during hybrid for most of the regional, then 2073 pulls it off in the QF and not just one but TWO!! Very exciting - congrats to your team Bill.

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

Thanks Doug!!!

Here is the crazy thing. I never saw it happen either. I was in Hawaii on vacation with my family. I got text messages every hour or so. They were having difficulty getting Hybrid to work at all on Thurs. Finally they decided to scrap the original process and re-code. They began with just getting it to drive straight. When they got that dialed in, they added a U-turn. Now getting 8 points every time, they added the third leg, now 12 points each time.

Once they had that working, they realized that the ball was placed in their starting lane 33% of the time. So, they decided to us the IR to tell the bot to raise the lift if the ball was in their lane. Bingo, 20 points. When I got that message I was ecstatic.

When I heard they had been chosen in the first round for alliance #8, my season was complete:) :) :) . (You see, they are a second year team. Last year they came in second to last after qualifying).

The next message I got knocked me out of my Hammock. 28 points in their first QF match. Is that a success story or what???

Honestly, it was a bit of a fluke. The ball on the opposing alliance overpass just happened to be in the same lane as it was in the home lane. They had calibrated the U-turn to be exactly three lanes wide, that way they would never hit a wall no matter what lane they were in to start.

We're not even in the same league with 1114 or 25, but what a great step forward in one year!! I hope we can continue to build on this success!!

To Team 1114,

As the team (1902) that got the most votes last year as the best autonomous mode, my hat is off to you.

I watched the videos and you were great. We set the goals to do what you have done and have not achieved it yet.

Love to exchange notes on how it was done.

You should be proud of a job well done.

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

when we get to palmetto... we have to tweek just one thing... then we will have a hybrid almost identical to 1114. we were close at peachtree but just couldn't get it done at the end...

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

I remember 343 the 1st year of auto mode 2003) with your wings that spread and took down almost all the boxes. I was with a rookie team that year (1083) and we were awed by what you did.

Our only glory at peach tree that year was to get to the boxes before you did and stop your auto mode, but other than that you guys dominated.

Love to see what you can do this year.

No small feat hitting two balls and crossing 4-6 lines.

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

OK, one more round of regionals has past. Let's hear more success stories. :yikes:

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

326 got 2 balls and 5 lines

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

At the Minnesota Regional... I know our team had crossed 3 lines a couple of times, but consistently 2 lines. I do know that 93 had crossed 5 lines or they almost something like that. 2177 also had a very good hybrid and crossed 4 lines a good amount and I think they also crossed 5 lines a couple of times.

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

Has anyone hurdled during autonomous?

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

well my old team could only do laps but in jersey we could consistently do two lines

and we worked out the kinks and in philly they managed to pull of 5 in the end

the thing that i love the most is that it can do 3 lines every time, a lap almost every time, and five lines quite a few times

so for a pure racing robot its not too shaby

and its not hybrid its purely autonomous

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

Well yes we did.. the coo lthing about that it was the last match in the finals.. We got the 5 lines and 2 balls and 67 got 5 lines also.. and 503 getting one line we had a 60-24 advantage going into teleoperated mode.

We were getting atleast 4 lines every match in qualifiying and in finals we got 5 lines i think 4 times out of 8 matches.. The ball thing was just luck. we missed the first ball and got it on the second go around, which was awesome and i heard our alliance teams outside the fields start screm and yelling when they tailled up the scores after words.. im not sure if there was been a bigger hyrid mode by one alliance though..but i could be wrong.. Has any alliance beat 60 points (If there are 1114 must be in it).

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

Qualification 53 at the Greater Toronto Regional:
http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv...p?matchid=8158

The hybrid score shows that 1114, 2200 and 1006 achieved 64 points.
This was also the highest scoring match so far with 168 points.

It looks like a scoring error because 1114 got 4 lines and 2 balls knocked off and 2200 got 2 lines which means they should have had 40 points.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

I just watched that match a couple of times and yeah 40 points looked good.. there

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

our autonomous always got 2 balls and 4-5 lines on our practice field...
but once again we made the mistake of tuning to a practice robot on a practice field. consequently, nothing worked at the CT regional, and so our best was 1 ball and 5 lines (most of the time it misjudged the distance from the wall and made a U turn, going backwards across 2 lines)

we've been using our fix-it windows diligently to make our auto mode a force to reckon with at the championships... so hopefully it will do a bit more than -20 points per auto (=

Re: Highest Autonomous score by a single team
 

Saw 2 balls and 5 lines and 6 lines with 1 ball by 1114 at Waterloo. They said in practice (at their facility) they had done 2 balls and 7 lines. Their dead reckoning to get that second ball is pretty good.
