Where can I find the videos the Waterloo matches? I want to see the high score

Look on YouTube in a few days. Let people get home from the regional so they can upload it. Most people have regional flu when they get home. So just give it some time.

150 points, semifinals (if I am not mistaken), the 1114 alliance, Canada. yesterday March 26.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

1114, 3756 & 2056, match 13 semi-final 1-1 150 to 54. Also check theredalliance.com & thebluealliance.com for updates. Here is the updated weekly high scores with Hawaii added in.

Skip to 1 hour 20 mins or 1 hour 36 mins to see 1114's high scoring semifinal matches.

OK, here is the latest spreadsheet on highest scores. I was FTAA in Hartford & had a blast watching the robots up close scrambling to score points.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

... O_O... I think we have a winner...

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

Anybody think we'll see 1114/2056/3756's 152 (before penalties) or 150 (after penalties) fall in Week 6 or at CMP?

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

If I were a betting man, I'd go with CMP being the ultimate record-breaker. While we may see some nice scores and maybe even a new record set in Week 6, the best-of-the-best will be at Championships. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a qualifying match is the one that does it.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

Depends on the schedule at MSC... You could easily get an alliance (or even two alliances) with three high caliber teams like 67, 217, 33, 1918, 548, 201, 245, 1718, 2337, 2137, 51, 2054, 27, 1023, 3539, 494........ Without turning this into another "How good Mi teams are" or "How good the MSC will be" thread...I think due to the qualifying nature of the MSC, it has a better chance of happening there than at the FRCC (FIRST Robotics Competition Championship).

So, my opinion, if not at MSC, then it won't have a chance until IRI.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

The only reason I disagree is because at the MSC, every team plays smart, which (sorry out-of-state FRC) isn't true at the CMP. That means, at the MSC, if there's an alliance of the caliber to break 150, the opposing alliance should have both the strategy and the talent to counter such an attempt.

This could similarly result in lower scores at the MSC than would be expected for the level of the teams competing.

(On second thought, it could happen in the eliminations if one alliance tries to go all-out on the tubes and attempt to simply out-score, perhaps in a Semifinal 1)

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

Hm, I'm apparently still very unfamiliar with Michigan's system. If it's as tough as you all make it sound, then it's possible we could see something happen in Week 6. But that still doesn't mean CMP should be ruled out entirely.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

Very good point here! Tube starvation at MSC will really play into the scores at such an event. You can get 6 of the best teams out there but if they both are starving tubes you won't have too high of a score.

That being said though MSC is looking very, very tough based on the teams attending. Don just listed out 16 scary opponents in a normal match and who knows how strong they can make an alliance combining together and adding a third partner!

CMP shouldn't be rules out either if. How many upper 20/low 30 point matches were there in Atlanta last year both before and after penalties?

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

Special notice deserves to be given to the alliance of 1730 at North Star for scoring 114 points after penalties in quarterfinals with only two robots playing for their alliance, 2225 was experiencing problems.

Re: Highest Score 2011
 

But I guess I disagree slightly. Because they are playing smart, all the teams know that it's going to come down to your win/loss record AND ranking points. To get ranking points, you can't starve the other alliance... So, I am not sure the tube starvation strategy in quals is going to be as common and that all out scoring (especially with two strong alliances against each other) might rule out. Everyone is going to think they can outscore the other alliance and of course ;) they have the faster mini-bots...

But, I could be wrong...
