Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

In DC, there are being VERY strict about rough play. On several occasions today, we saw teams barely touch another robot, but because they were sideways and had high traction wheels, and their CG is high, they tip over with hardly any force. We accidently tipped a bot, 1024, and several others did too. Yellow card was the result. Also a team just sat on side of the bump, not moving, and because another team tried to get on the bump to do a hanging maneuver, they tipped over when they ran into the other robot - EVEN though it was stationary. That stationary robot got a Yellow card.

The penalties are way out of control and decided way too many matches.

Also your control board better be ready to go as soon as you get up there. We "crashed" our Classmate and had to reboot, but because they were behind time-wise, they wouldn't wait and we had to play a dead match. While another team forgot to charge their Classmate and were allowed to put in a spare battery, which took a lot longer. Just kinda stinks...

Week 1 - gotta love it!!

Just had a 13-0 on the last match at KC...but it was a 6 v 0, though.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

It seems like penalties are a major part of this year's game, and that's unfortunate to hear. These games have be moving towards a more non-contact competition which I'm not sure how much I like. Back in the day of no bumpers and penalties only resulted from intentionally trying to destroy another robot was the good ol' days.

I personally haven't been watching or keeping up with too much of the challenge this year. I'm curious if this low scoring average is going to be consistent throughout the season, or is this maybe more the result of being the beginning weeks. What do you guys think? Are points going to rise as the weeks move along? Or are they going to stay the same?

14-0 match at kettering in the elims.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

If you want to see a "good" non-contact game, check out this year's VEX game. It is very "volleyball" like and has resulted in some very interesting strategies.

In San Diego 100, 359, and 294 got 10-4 in the Quarters.

The highest average I've seen is right around 8. with most being like 5 or less

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

67 910 and 70 now tied record with 14 in the final match.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

Quarterfinals 1-1: 78,1922,134. 12 to 6, GSR high score.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

My memory is somewhat foggy, but I do believe our alliance scored 11 points at least once or twice? Obviously not the record, but double digits is something to be proud of.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

OH YES WE DID! Twice in the finals and once before I believe! But they got the high score and they earned it well!

Loved working with you guys! Hope to compete with you in Atlanta and good luck at Chesapeake!:)

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

I think the highest sum was:
Kettering: Q45 12 to 9

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

high score that i saw at peachtree was first match of finals

7-10
for a grand total of 17 pts scored
and that might be with a penalty, i can't remember

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

Wow seriously? in Traverse City we practically had battle bots. Teams were trying to tip or tipped over other bots every few rounds. Though of course teams got red card for hitting a opposing alliance tower or enemy robot in contact with it.

I wonder did any team ever right another robot after it tipped? Here our team was the only one that bothered to flip another alliance robot back on its wheels.

P.S. can you change the Rookie Year thing since I kind of messed up it is suppose to be 1996.

Re: 2010 Highest Scoring Match
 

Well, GSR seemed to have some pretty impressive matches! I think that every alliance at GSR was composed of several truly competitive robots! From my scouting records, the total number of points scored in the elimination matches (including penalties) was 208 (in the 18 matches). This would put the average match sum at 11.6 points.

Brendan referenced the single highest scoring match in his post above - Quarterfinal 1-1 was truly incredible! The *penalized* score was 12-4, with the incredible finalist alliance of 1922, 78, and 134 putting up the big numbers!

I think the highest score of the sum of the alliances (with penalties) at GSR was from Final 1-4... the winning alliance of 1073, 1519, and 1058 managed an 11-6 win against 1922, 78, and 134.

I would like to express my gratitude toward our incredible alliance partners: 1073 and 1058. Somehow I feel like our teams' robots were made to work in the same alliance! If not for each of your specific contributions, I doubt our alliance would have had any success. Thanks again!

I'd also like to congratulate all three alliances you faced - you guys were amazing! Every single match had me on the edge of my seat, checking the score board, cheering at the limits of my voice, and praying non-stop! Thanks to the alliances of 562, 241, and 319 of 126, 40, and 2386 and of 1922, 78, and 134 - as I said, all of you were great!

I already can't wait to play some more Breakaway at NCR and the Championships!
