Don't take my word for it. I was reffering to another robot. One in which you maybe familiar with. ;)

Re: FTC World Championships
 

In the case of 339, they are in a different division than us and 189, so it won't be an issue until finals.

I think 339 was who you were referring to?

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Have we forgot about 211 robodogs? They were a great partner in NYC and from what I hear just about as good as simbotics.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I personally didn't think they were at the same level as 339 or 3 based on the videos you posted of them at PA. Then again, I definitely could be wrong, I've never seen them up close.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

No, not at all. Your're missing my point. You will just have to wait and see. :D

Re: FTC World Championships
 

We will see what happens in Atlanta. Everything will be different from the regionals.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I heard that 211 was good but not as good as 339

Re: FTC World Championships
 

The difficulty with FTC is that generally there is so little information available to do decent scouting. Or scouting comparable to the level you'd expect from FRC.

If you asked me who the "best" FTC teams are right now, I'd honestly have no clue. I'd also be half expecting to find a dozen or so EXCELLENT robots that I've never heard of.

It's a fine balance with FTC. With the history of "comandeered" designs, many good teams are reluctant to post videos of their robots. But there's a point in time where this works against you; you might have a great robot that no one knows about, and slips through the cracks come eliminations.

You might've even won a tournament, and scored some of the highest scoring matches in all of FTC... and people still would have no idea who you are. FTC is a strange beast sometimes.

The information just isn't out there for FTC, but eventually, you either a) get the word out about your robot, or b) hope that the good teams down there scout you and understand what you bring to the table.

Hopefully, you do some of both.

P.S. I'm not a member of 189 either. I have no idea what new tricks they have up their sleeve, but we'll find out soon enough.

Oh no, a mysterious modification to a mysterious robot! Can't wait =)

Re: FTC World Championships
 

True because in ftc there is no shipping the robot to atlanta and you can't work on it, you can copy anybody's design thats why 339 covers theirs.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Alot of the teams don't look to see if they win the regional but where the team places in the standing snad their rp
