Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Any information on what award those teams won to make them eligible?

We are curious what tier of the FTC lottery FIRST will get to?
ie first picked, second picked, THINK award.

Thanks

FTC 1885 will be there with a beefed up bot that's been through some very tough matches. The kids have really taken the initiative to get creative in improving something we thought was already good enough.

Highest score: 220-ish.
Overall strategy: score, even under heavy defense. That 220 was under heavy defense in Delaware, and we've rarely ever not been under defense.
Auton Strategy: Have options. Lots of options.

Vague enough for ya? ;)

@ mjl2142

3923 Atomix was Winning Alliance Partner SC Day 1 (Confirmed Lottery), Winning Alliance Partner TN
1102 M'Aiken Tech Magic Winning Alliance Captain SC Day 1
3864 GFORCE Winning Alliance Captain TN
313 Fembots Inspire
Devilbots Winning Alliance Captain SC Day 2
Entech Inspire

GFORCE was single robot score Officially 260 final score 316, and now thinking about it we were under heavy defense.

Overall Strategy: Mostly Hording for endgame, but plan to score some high goal shots as well.
Auto: Several options I'm perfecting them as of now :)

@Jesse Vague is always good.

Exothermic Robotics will be sending FTC 417, but we aren't very good. No need to worry about the black robot.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Thanks.

Has anyone heard of a Tier 2 or 3 team being offered a position yet?
We aren't expecting anything, but we were caught completely off guard last year by an invitation 2 weeks before the tournament.
Hoping to be a little better prepared if and when they do get to tier 3.

Thanks,

Shh. You're supposed to act like you didn't realize it. It's a counter to his counter intelligence.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Team 25, the Rock 'n' Roll Robots, will be coming back to Atlanta again, courtesy of the Inspire Award. We're looking forward to testing out our new modifications against some awesome competition.

Anyone know when they release the division lists?

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Team 2818 G-FORCE is going to Atlanta this year, I think this will be a fun year :)

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Is FTC only for teams from the USA now?

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

No. We have teams from The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada, and maybe Chine (I believe).

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Techno Guards (#2848) will be in Atlanta again this year.

Inspire award winner at NorCal and captain of alliance #1 (although we didn't make it past the Semi-Finals)

Highest score in solo practice: 310 (with no gold ball!)

Autonomous? yes... so far 18 basic options x 4 starting orientations = 72 (all in 1 program), score, load, defense, different colors and positions... Most points in autonomous so far: 95 (9 in high goal and local column emptied).

Looking forward to doing better on the field than last year!

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Chile or China? :P

The Alamo FTC Championships have yet to happen... but I hope 3033 can make a return to Atlanta, aswell as our new team 3943

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

We a huge test today running our robot for 5-6 hours straight almost, except for battery changes and bolt tightenings. It was a major success. :D
