Re: Which teams are winning?

The teams that finished the robot early and had time for driver practice and autonomous modes.

I think this is about as close to a universal truth as you will find in FRC. The teams that have the most time to practice and program will always be the ones coming out the gate the strongest.

From NJ, 2016 was the beast and the team to beat. They had some bad luck that would push down their OPR. We had a good bot with great drivers. They had a great bot with good & improving drivers. Watch out for them moving forward.

From FLR, our top teams were: 2056, 217, 1126, 340, 191 & 229.
I believe they were all Floor Collectors that could reach the top, and had rather consistent auto modes, the first four had very good minibots(& deployers) as well.

I really wouldn't consider us winning because our minibot was the only thing that really brought us to the Finals.Our scoring was mediocre and really needs some adjustments mechanically. With that said, our claw will be undergoing surgery for Philly. By then, we will probably be winning.

Our team started/mentored the rookie team 3536. When I first met the mentor I knew they would go far. I never expected them to go that far the 1st time up to bat!! :eek:
The Bees hung 2 uber tubes in autonomous....pretty impressive!!! Their mini is cute!

Exactly.

While occasional tube throwing is a smart decision to get a quick, high, score, tube starvation is a strategy that can be accomplished with the right supporting robots.

We will be throwing in week 2, very sparingly, but we will be instructing partners to capitalize on tubes thrown by opponents and to try and corral tubes into our scoring zone.

Re: Which teams are winning?

I did notice during week one the filling of the field with tubes was sometimes detrimental to the throwing team. I remember one specific instance where we were missing a square tube when an opposing human player very helpfully messed up a throw and delivered one to us, allowing us to complete a logo.

We both had a pretty easy schedule, but the only reason our OPR is higher is due to the fact that we had 2 matches with ridiculously good alliances. Granted, one of them was with 2056 but the other was with 1126 and 340.

2056 is extremely top tier this year and their robot is a work of art.

Oh, and 1126 and 340 are the real deal this year.

Beat me to it. 1126 and 340 put up some of the best competition to a ridiculously good alliance (2056 and 217) than I have seen in a long while. Plus 340 got chairmans, so they can come to champs.

Very high placed and well accomplished teams at kettering.

"Note #3536 is a rookie team and got 2nd seed at kettering.

just wanna say thanks for noticing us as a rookie team, we put our heart and soul into our first year robot and it paid off in the long run. we had no idea what we were getting into, then when we walked through those doors at kettering and saw robots being pulled around on carts, team members walking around in battle suits maid of other teams buttons, and everyone willing to give a helping hand we instantly got sucked in. thanks for all the support all you other teams have given us, we wont forget it. oh and a little shout out to team #1322, we wouldnt have made it anywhere close to where we did without you guys.
