Correct if im wrong, but i dont believe they had a scoring mechanism (right?....)
Or are you just pointing out the importance in an ubertube or minibot

IF we had more time to code, we might have been able to get an ubertube on a low peg. We did allow for it in the design. But in reality we probably would have used our autonomous period to get up a head of steam so that we could start at the opponents end of the field as quickly as possible. Thanks to MOE for that suggestion.

As for the minibot - uhg. Our initial design for regionals never worked. We worked with the "FRO" on a new design for world championships that worked but then we got hit with someones arm and it broke. It took us most of Friday to fix it. But our last three matches it worked.

Akash is dead on when he said we did not instill confidence till those three rounds when we were humming along.

As Adam already said, the third bot should still have been able to play offense.

I think 3553 would have been an asset had they had EITHER a consistent Ubertube or Minibot to contribute.


And IRI where 3138 played defense every match and made it to the finals. (Maybe I'm biased, but I was surprised how defense was not a focus in elimination matches at IRI---I thought more teams would go with the 254/111/973 strategy to having 2 scorers and 1 defense).

But yeah, Chris is right, 3553 without an auto nor consistent minibot was facing a very very tough climb to getting picked. They would have needed to join an alliance with a team with 2 elite scorers, one of which that had a two uber auto, both with minibots, confidence that neither of them will break down and the willingness to have an inflexible strategy. Just look at 973, who was the 5th highest scorer on Galileo, fastest minibot, and played some really strong defense, fell to the second to last team selected. That being said, I wouldn't judge a rookie team's success on getting picked at the Championship.

This is key.

When our elevator went down in the Boston finals, 222 stepped it up huge on the scoring aspect while we switched to D for 2 matches. This kind of flexibility is what allowed us to be extremely competitive in those finals matches.

Had we chosen a robot that was simply a shut down defender, it would've been game set match for us.

On a completely unrelated note-
Stogi, whats up with the ripoff NUTRON logo ;)

This chassis* probably won't fit what your school* is looking for, but if you're going* to design a new chassis* for a new challenge*, feel free to take a look at the CAD posted in the first post of this thread. The link to download the file is posted.
