I just had a thought, I'm wondering....what kind of Shooters are you using??

Dual Stage Geared Wheel Shooter?
Kicker?
What does your team use?

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Team 154 Renegade will be attending once again.

Our High Score is 440 (No yellow ball).

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

I think this a year for vets. Though my team is all rookies besides me. I'm seeing only 20 or so good teams from Competition footage. To bad USFIRST doest post match results like in FRC then I could know for sure.

The Powerhouses i know of are,
2818 G-Force
Team Duct Tape Florida
417 Exothermic
Smoke and Mirrors
154
1102 M'Aiken Tech Magic
3923 ATOMIX
3864 GFORCE
roboraiders i haven't seen theirs yet??
TechnoWarriors Advanced
Entech 281
complete the list because I haven't got a full scouter sheet yet.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

our robot can be either a powerhouse or a roadblock


we use a 2 wheel shooter with a compound gearing system to get it up to speed and save space for hording as many balls as we can get with our Belt collector. which we attempt to fire all into the far goal at the end game. its a risky approach to the game actually. we usually either win spectacularly or lose spectacularly.

i can't wait to see the other robots at worlds, its only our second year and we have had a great time and a lot of support from family and friends this year.

i don't remember our high-score but we scored somewhere just over 500 at state with a yellow ball i think.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

What's the definition of "Powerhouse"?

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

RoboRaiders (679) didn't make it this year. Look out for 1848 Team SOUP and 710 Mariners from Georgia. SOUP has a great archimedian screw and shooter that will hopefully dominate.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Archimedian screw!!!! I have to if that competes with Atomix's Helix it sounds awsome!! We will be looking for them :D

The Champs didn't make it, sorry to hear that better luck next year.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Check out GForce in action on our website, http://www.maikenmagic.com/?ref=gforce

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

We also just posted a video - http://www.technoguards.org

We were waiting for the video from the NorCal competition (it includes some of our autonomous sessions where we got 8 balls in the high goal, and another one where we got 6 in - with opposing defensive autonomous...)

Hopefully that will be posted later! This video includes some of our robot in competition and some of the robot in a demo area we did at the Sacramento Regional FRC tournament last week.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

I'll be volunteering Wed-Sat. Look for the umbrella hat, say hello.

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

i discovered a way to get 21 balls in autonomous :DD this will tip the balance of power alot :D

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

Sounds like someone thinks alot like I do. haha I had a plan for 23 balls in auto mode but it was never implied. If we were going to atlanta im sure we would have done something awesome like that we didnt quite earn our way in this year so i hope that works out for you!

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

thanks :D it seems to work really well, though the feild differences might screw it up lol

Re: [FTC]: FTC FIRST ATLANTA NATIONALS
 

My alma mater, (team number unknown) Conserve Steelers, will be competing. I will be cheering for them as much as possible as it's their last year as a normal high school. They were winners and Inspire winners in Chicago and Wisconsin.
