WOW the speed racer bot was awesome! It would have been awesome to see 1519 pick themselves at BTB. That alliance would have been hard to beat!

I was extremely surprised that 9151 didn't hold out to play with there other half 1519.

Sounds like what we did at Merrimack in 2006. Maybe at Mayhem in Merrimack 2008...;)

wow, that's fast! Scoring 54 points by yourself is a nice accomplishment, especially when you don't handle any game pieces. I liked the fact that the other half of your robot was on the other alliance. "...call it a hunch, but i think 1519 is gonna win this match"

Of the 426 individual team performances on Friday in Galileo, there were only 29 occurrences of at least 54 points. (That's less than 7%) These 29 performances were recorded by 13 teams. When we look at the teams who did this in more than one match, the number drops to 5.

What I'm trying to say is that Speed Racer's performance at Beantown Blitz, was one of the best offensive performances of the season, only being matched or outdone by teams including 25, 195, 121, 217, 254, 330. Simply put, Speed Racer is very, very good.

So, with Karthik's information in mind, what are the chances 1519 use speed racer at IRI instead of their hurdler?

It might throw a wrench into IRI to have such an awesome lap bot (especially now that 148's gone) instead of just another hurdler. Something to think about.

Best of luck to 1519 either way.

I'm psyched for IRI

I would love to see Speed Racer at IRI, as I personally think it would have a higher chance of being picked. Fezzik (the hurdler) is a competitive hurdler, but Speed Racer is in a very small (pun not intended) class, which IMO increases its likelihood of being picked, on account of there being so few high-scoring lapping machines. Unfortunately though, Speed Racer's best driver most likely can't come to IRI, while Fezzik's primary drive team can... So, I'd expect Fezzik to be the robot representing 1519 at IRI. It also looks like I probably can't make it to IRI... :( However, I'm seeing if plans can be mixed around a bit! :)
