It looks like they already have a deployment system (that works, I saw them deploy in a QF match video). Unless of course that was a loaner, too (considering it has a different minibot on it in the pic (prob theirs in Qual 14) and vid (prob loaner) I think it is their system). I think they should probably choose which ever minibot fits their deployment the best, so lets give them options.

I offered them one of our loaner minibots as well via PM (to a couple members of their team). I think PM is probably the way to go (for other to offer minibots) since members of their team might not read the rest of this thread. I have a read receipt but no responses yet.

Just in case anyone missed our other thread, we have posted a link to our Curie robot photo database that everyone is welcome to utilize. Keep checking back here as we will continue to add the missing pictures.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=94758

We pulled these pics from team websites, other CD posts, and have now resorted to screen captures from YouTube clips. So, if we don't have a photo or it is not a very good picture of your robot, we apologize but you've hidden them well....

Mmmmmmmm... I'm a newly minted fan of the deployment systems that extend a rail with an alignment device, and then fire the minibot down the rail.

I don't know about other non-magnetic, direct-drive minibots, but ours is sensitive to misalignment. If the deployment system pushes the minibot sideways against the pole, then there's too much pressure on one roller, not enough on the other, and the minibot just spins out. Plus all the concerns about bending shafts and such. So while I'm willing to loan out minibots, I'd also like to set up the loanees for success.

Similar to what I did in previous years, I ran through 100 simulated qualification match schedules (all 147 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's highest opr at any event for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 100 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.

Code:

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
Interesting that after 100 potential match schedules 24 different teams appear as the #1 seed, including the 38th, 39th, and 40th teams in the OPR listing. This division looks wide open with match pairings playing a significant role in the fight for the #1 seed. I would hate to see the list of matches that had us finishing 62nd in the field. :eek: I don't doubt that it could happen though.

Thanks Joe for helping us anticipate the best and worst possible outcomes of the match pairing algorithm.

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
Looks like a great division this year!! Looking forward to seeing a lot of awesome robots and cheering on a Curie win on Einstein.

And now, a Public Service Announcement from your friendly neighborhood LRI: PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR BAG & TAG LOCKUP FORMS!!! if you last competed at a B&T event and then shipped "Bag in Crate". It will make both of our Wednesday evenings a lot better :)

See Ya'll Soon!!!

nothing like the read deal though. no simulation can show the intense competition of curie this year!!!

2011 Curie Division And the MOEbile Pit!
 
To start I would like to congratulate all of the teams who are coming to nationals in St. Louis! All of your hard work and dedication is paying off!
Like any other competition there are some things that are bound to happen. Programs aren't going to run right, things will break, and countless of other things could go wrong (knock on wood!). But have no fear, MOEbile Pit will be there! For years MOE 365 has run a successful "mobile pit" which consists of a team of students that helps other teams with any problems that they encounter. But this year we are stepping into the 21st century with the help of Twitter! If at any time during the competition your team finds themselves in need of help, Tweet @MOEbilePit with your problem/request! This is an experimental way of communication through which other FIRST teams can connect to our MOEbile Pit when they need assistance! If you have any questions feel free to post them, or Tweet them to @MOEbilePit .
In the words of my greatest inspiration, Dean Kamen, "Good luck, and see you in St. Louis!"

Your right no simulation can create results that are desired. Its only used for reference purposes as are most statistics. Also it extremely helps scouters like yourself have an easier time looking though data and making the best decisions. All things like that should be taken with a grain of salt because of unfortunate events.

and whenever there is a rematch because of field errors, that ALWAYS can change seeds. we had a match like that last year and this yea; It was in our favor:)

Exactly, stuff like that you take it with a grain of salt. Top seeds aren't guaranteed a win. That's why we scout to try and predict the most unpredictable outcomes and try to figure out a way around them. For example last year 1114,469 through all statistics were going to win Einstein but didn't. Things like that can happen especially in this game, things are just out of our control.

Well, we might only be approaching halfway through, but one of my favorite Ontario teams is in first, followed by one of my favorite Washington teams.

Go Theory6... Go Skunks... I'll be cheering for both of you!

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
Team PyroTech is doing... Meh. xD Last time I checked, we were in 72nd. (probably lower now-- we lost our last match! (Just checked-- 78th xD)) During our last match of the day, autonomous worked flawlessly. We tried to hang a few tubes and didn't succeed. When we went to the minibot pole, the minibot fell off and pulled out the cord to our C RIO! I think we should at least get bonus points for that, we couldn't have done that if we tried!!

Overall, it was a great day. Definitley a different feel than our regional. Talked to some great people and teams! And to be honest, none of us really care that we don't have the best ranking, we're just excited that we're even in St. Lois!

See you all on the field tomorrow! :)

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
We, 2751, had a weird day with lots of bad luck... minibot fell off... belt on the elevator snapped... etc etc... We are happy to be 2-2 right now, but we expect to improve a lot tomorrow

Nick Rixford 29-04-2011 19:07

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
I know how you feel, Gael Force has had terrible luck, we are however, a great bot, we have consistent autonomous, we score 6-7 tubes per match, and we do have a 1.5 second mini bot, our alliance schedule has just not worked at all, and our roller bound the last match so we had to herd tubes, ahh well we just hope someone picks us haha

You guys don't have to try and sell your teams on here. The good teams scout. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

To be honest... posts like this, and your previous additions to this thread are more of a turn off from your team than anything else. I agree with Akash, the good teams scout, if you are good you will get scouted.

In my opinion, the posts you are making are not flattering your team. Pick Me, Pick Me may be fine to yell during the alliance selections if you feel you really must, but I doubt that people reading CD right now are in the position to read what you have written and make any useful scouting conclusions from it, aside from that fact that you think your team is really really good despite yielding lack luster results on the field.

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
It appears I have missed a lot while in St. Louis, and it's probably a good thing. I really hope Curie teams weren't swayed into a negative opinion of 573 due to the posts that were deleted.

I will reiterate what has already been said. Robert, ever since you registered, your posts have been extremely nonconstructive. Everything I have seen from you has been self centered and at the point of spam. You also need to improve on your grammar. This isn't Facebook, so capital letters, proper punctuation, and complete words and sentences are necessary. Seriously, think before you post next time.

despite yielding lack luster results on the field
I wouldn't call beating 2056 on Thursday and 67 on Saturday lackluster results. Our match schedule wasn't necessarily friendly and we knew we couldn't win them all. We carried our alliance in most of our matches, yet everybody should know that teams can't always win by themselves. In some matches, we gave into our partners who insisted that we execute a certain strategy, which ended up not working out. Personally, I felt that we proved that we could compete with the big dogs.

I'm not trying to say that we were the best, or even anywhere close to the best. Could we have done better? Probably, but we are still proud of our performance, and we certainly aren't a bad team just because of a few deleted posts in this forum.


With that being said, I had a good time at the Championship and competing with and against the other Curie teams.

Thanks for the support! It felt great to be in St.Louis and among the best again. We definetly had a great time and learned alot!

Thanks again :)

2363 really enjoyed our first trip to the Championship. We had a great time competing against all of the teams in the Curie Division and look forward to hopefully seeing teams at other regionals and the Championship next year.

On behalf of Team 1241 - THEORY6, I would like to congratulate all the Curie teams for being such amazing competitors!

Congratulations to 987 - High Rollers, 968 - RAWC and 51 - Wings of Fire on winning the Division and representing Curie on Einstein!

Again a big thank you to our wonderful alliance partners; 2056 - OP Robotics and 368 - Team Kika Mana.. it was a pleasure to work with you and hopefully we shall meet again in St Louis next year!

Thanks for all the help you gave us. I know I was anoying at times coming in to pester you for tools or hardware, but you guys were always willing to look for what I needed. Our charter bus didn't arrive until Thursday night. It had the tools, robot cart, and human player on it :eek:

I can't say thank you enough to 67 and 1717 for picking us. We will hopefully build on this years momentum and come out even stronger next year.

And I am thankful to 2751 for letting me tag along for the weekend. I had a great time in St. Louis this year!

And thanks again to 67 and 1717 for picking us. I know just from being around this team a lot that this meant the world. Just to be able to play with two of FIRST's premiere teams in eliminations is a real boost. And like Josh said, they will build off of this. They have done a great job improving, and I don't think that this will be an exception. So thank you for not only picking 2751 for an alliance, but for inspiring and affirming that this team is getting better and better.

We were glad to be picked, it got into the second round of picks and I started to get worried. There were still a few good teams that didn't end up getting into the elimination rounds.

Re: 2011 Curie Division
 
This was an amazing division this year and 1675 was proud to be a part of it. It was really great to have so many friends within the division but it was even greater to have the opportunity to make so many new ones.

Big thanks to Teams 71 and 469 (from Galileo) for lending us the parts we needed to fix and improve our minibot. Things were definitely clicking for us at the right time to reach the #9 seed and become the 8th alliance captain.

Thanks to 1678 and 245 for being a part of the Ultimate Citrus Bots alliance - one tube short (which was on and then off) in the first match and one tube/one ubertube/one penalty short in the second match - not too shabby. It was tons of fun and a pleasure to play with you guys. We were really hoping to get to play against 71/2826/103 in the finals - 71 is my former team and 2826 was our busmates for the ride to St. Louis. Maybe next year!

Lastly, congrats to 987, 968, and 51 for making it to Einstein. You guys were a great alliance and Chris' story about 51's drivers makes it even more impressive. Well done!!

Congratulations to 987(High Rollers), 51(Wings of Fire), and 968 (RAWC) on making it to Einstein. You guys were an awesome alliance to see happen.

Congrats to 987,51,968 For being the winning alliance on Curie. That alliance represented all of the 88 robots wonderfully on Einstein! Although it wasn't curie's year I still think we had some of the best competition at champs this year.

To our alliance captains 364 Team fusion You guys were a great captain and we enjoyed being on your alliance for elms and are sure glad you picked us.

365 MOE You guys are truly a hall of fame team, your robots continue to be great and you guys in your neon green are the embodiment of a first team. It was great to be partnered with you.

Shout outs to 2056,1717,67,71, and every other captain and anyone else I forgot you guys make first the real deal and great! All of you guys inspire me!
