Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Just was wondering which teams have been able to score two Ubertubes by themselves in autonomous.

Team 40 did it twice at WPI and once at BAE.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Others I know of include 33, 148, and 1114

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Does anyone have any video of 1114? We finished our regional today(Florida) so I didnt get a chance to see them compete.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team 40 actually did it 3, almost 4 times, today at WPI. Crazy stuff.

And here is a video of another team doing it last week.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

team 33 the killerbees did it very well, and i forgot the team number but i think its team 2137 T.O.R.Q. also did it a few times

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

You're probably thinking of 326, who were (as far as I know) the only other team to perform the feat at Kettering.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

yes i remember them doing it as well now, but i know for a fact that team T.O.R.Q did it as well because we were in their alliance for a match. i just had a brainfart and cant remember their team number haha

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Does anyone have a video of team 40 doing their double score? From what I've heard, they do something different from how Killer Bees and Robowranglers hang their tubes.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Don't know about video, but I've watched it several times, and can confirm that it's very different and very cool.

For those who haven't seen team 40's robot, the basic design is essentially Pink 2k7 with swerve drive. This allows them to pick up from both sides of their robot. They score the first tube as normal, and then back up diagonally, while lowering their arm to pick up from behind. They then pick up the tube directly in line with their partner's stationary robot, tilt the arm back to forward, and score it. Its a very efficient system.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

We have one written, but didn't get the opportunity to use it in Florida (not enough testing yet - and we were more than busy with other issues). Expect Pink to be running a 2-tube auto mode pretty soon, as well.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

At Kettering only 33 and 326 were able to pull it off... 2137 was very constant at getting one tube... The tine it took them to get one tube would have made it extremely hard to get a second tube... But maybe someone from 2137 will see this thread and provide an answer...

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Yes. This was correct. I believe they used their camera to detect the yellow of the Ubertube and strafed over to pick it up. It was amazing to see it in the finals. The gym at WPI erupted when it happened. By far one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Autonomous.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I will ask our video department if we have a video of the match. If we do I will post it up on YouTube.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

2 Ubertubes Eh? I think I can shoot for 2 also. I mean if half a dozen teams have done it, why can't I? Only problem I might face is the claw not actually being able to grab the tube from the ground.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Oh so close... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw6aJXcnTXc

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Looks good but remember there is going to be a robot sitting behind that tube.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

When I saw Team 40 score two ubertubes this past weekend I was blown away! I can't believe that some teams are able to do that! Our team is having enough trouble as it is trying to program autonomus with only one student in programming and one mentor!

To all the teams that are able to program a double autonomous; Congratulations! You guys are doing an amazing job! :D

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Tube would be sitting next to an alliance robot and touching their bumper (hence the big chunk of fiberglass on the floor to represent the other robot). Have refs not been allowing an initial set up like this?

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

That's perfectly legal and very similar to the setup I have seen 33, 148 and 1114 use.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Sorry 842 but I dont think that was scored within the 15 seconds, but close =]

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Success! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiWpnlnvF5I

Could still use a few minor adjustments, but we're going to have to tune it on the competition robot on Thursday anyway.

See everyone at the AZ regional this week! :)

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Only if it doesn't move before they get there which is quite plausible since a lot of teams don't have an autonomus.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I wish we could do this... Does anyone have a robot shaped like a feeder station??? if so we need to talk :rolleyes:

Super Exciting :D
One Junior on our team programed it :D

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Add 125 to the list!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

217 also

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I do not remember them successfully doing it. I know they attempted many times, but had issues accidentally gripping on the other robot.

51 and 469 are also attempting it, but once again I'm not entirely sure if either one of those teams actually have scored two.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I heard Tom Nadar say they completed it.. Ive seen 51 and 469 attempt through your videos... Maybe they did it in pratice matches?

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Add 1730 to the list. It's worked multiple times in both practice and qualifications.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Has any team attempted to do a triple uber tube?

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I don't think anyone has a program to do it - there just isn't enough time for it! 1114 has the fastest double I've seen, and even they only have ~3 seconds to spare at the end! Assuming they could do the third as fast as the first two, they'd need a bare minimum of 18 seconds (since I'm guessing the second/third tube takes longer than the first).

That'd be really impressive, but I'm not sure it'd be all that valuable! It'd seem pretty uncommon that a hypothetical triple-uber robot is with two partners who can't uber more reliably than they can get all three! Perhaps I have too much faith in the "average" robot... :-)

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

1730, excellent work. Even more interesting is our robot going across the field and malfunctioning while you hang it!

Remind me, were the Robettes able to hang twice? I knew they are trying.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I watched 217 do it today. Very nice job!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

In Silicon Valley Regional I seen team 254 attempted to score two ubertubes a few times. They developed a program for it but I haven't seem them do it successfully. Maybe they will do it successfully tomorrow!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team 987 scored two ubertubes in 6 of their 8 matches today. One was missed from an opposing alliance coming across the field and hitting their alliance partner (who was touching the tube) and the second miss was from a tube that deflated when they picked it up.

They also put their new, faster minibot on display today, too...

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team 525 has done it at least 3 times at the Minnesota regional. Here is a link to see them in action. http://525swartdogs.org/pages/Practice_video/2011.html

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I've heard one of the other KC winners, 525, has added this trick to their repertoire as well across the street at 10K Lakes.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

525 has indeed proved themselves capable of scoring two ubers in autonomous.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I'm sure someone will be able to get the video posted soon but we were able to back up our practice match performance today with a 2-tube run in a qualification match at North Star. We've still got plenty of room for improvement but we're still working hard at it!

Good Luck to everyone still working on their code!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

That will make them interesting but by the time it gets down to the "near finals", most everyone can get an Ubertube on the top row. Personally, I think 3 separate robots hanging 3 separate ubertubes is more reliable than one robot doing 2.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I heard that three teams scoring an ubertube would become cramped for the alliance, so that robots may actually collide with another robot.

Today when I watched the SV regional through webcast (I wasn't actually there), I did see an alliance where all three tubes were scored by each robot. So I think the claim is a bit of an overstatement.

But I agree that 3 teams is better, because if a team can consistently do autonomous (score one ubertube) then they are likely a good team.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

111 did it at midwest

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

I did see 111 do it at midwest a few times, but I also saw them attempt to pick up their teammate in one match instead of the other ubertube.

987 got double-auto in most of the matches this weekend (I'm pretty sure 15 out of 17 matches). Good job Cody- awesome programming!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Our team had the code written up for it, but we ended up not doing it because we didn't have enough time at competition to work on the timings. Maybe for Beantown Blitz we'll try it, haha

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

234 is working on it. They had it working in practice at Smoky Mountains but never quite got it working during actual matches.

We may give it a try, just for fun. :p

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team Driven did it at the Minnesota North Star Regional, Here it is enjoy.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

If i can remember correctly (GVSU was a while ago) in elimination there was i think 5 ubbers up and the sixth was a miss... as long as the bots do what they are supposed to and go in on a straight path there is plenty of room for every bot to score in auton.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Here is a video showing the auto trial runs using encoders and gyro chip
We were able to score 2 ubertubes in auton. 14 times in a row.
We had previously had some issues with the gyro which was affecting our auton. capabilities, but now we have everything working as planned

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team Driven has been able too.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

2056 and 1114 were both consistently doing this in their respective Elimination alliances this weekend in Toronto. 1114 was scoring 1482's uber while 1503 scored their own, and 2056 was scoring 1547's uber while 781 scored their own.

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team 2056 scored 2 ubertubes consistently at GTR and Waterloo Regional

Just got it ready in time for the Championship, so it has only been tried at home on the practice bot...

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

MOE were able to do this at Philly, and Daisy were REALLY close to getting it, I'd be shocked if they don't get it at Championship.

huge shout out to our programming team --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtCq4wfzaOA

woohoo!

Re: Which Teams Have Been Able To Score Two Ubertubes In Autonomous
 

Team 233 has a three tube autonomous, and it looks pretty impressive to me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTs3b2w_GSw
