Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

We broke our high score of 213 twice today at the NJ championship. 234 and 239. :-D

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

...simply amazing. Did you guys win again?

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

That they did, it was amazing to compete againist them. They just have an amazing robot. Also Power Surge, congrats on winning the NJ competition and also winning the innovate award!

Though we did manage to give them a "run for their money" in the second round of the divisional finals. Though 73-184 isn't a very close score... but it was probably one of the hardest fought rounds that day!

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

Yeah, it does sound like that was probably one of the closest match (if not the closest) that we fought that day. Team Unlimited, you had a pretty cool robot/team. keep it up!

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

Am I the only person who feels that the organizing a tournament with divisions is a bit unfair (the idea that teams have to beat teams and aren't allowed to ally with teams in the other division to win the tournament)?

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

It was based off of Atlanta from what I could see. They had the same format in structure. From what I saw it alternated on the team list....A,B,A,B,A,B..... but there might have been a few exceptions.

It was interesting. I thought people were kidding when they said that we should expect 10-20 minutes between rounds to setup. Getting those links took forever some times it seemed, or was that just me?

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

That makes sense, although I know that it was their policy that sister teams were put in the same division.

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

which links you talking about?..linking the robot to the field to start the match? If that is the case, then i understand so far is that the issue is either between the main field management software/computer and using bluetooth. From what i am noticing, is that on the computer itself is maybe they are too many bluetooth connections which could be clogging up somekind of cache/connection limit or an issue with the bluetooh itself such as other bluetooth inference with other bluetooth devices

Re: [FTC]: High Score
 

Whoops, forgot to put this in my other post. The FMS in the Turnpike division was done incredibly well, far better than any tournament I've been at yet. The link setup was done very easily and there were few, if any, cases of an FMS issue. The Parkway division had trouble making a connection for some reason. My guess is that this was a computer issue rather than a bluetooth issue, but I'm no expert.
