Great, can't wait till Competition. Great to see a robotics team in Buffalo. Many of my family members live there, and it always dawned on me that they needed one there. Thanks, can't wait to see you all at Competition. :D

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Even with newcomers, can't forget the strong performers: 354, 1155, 694, 369, hopefully some others will have a strong year as well. Might see a few MAR teams register- 341, 56, and 11 have been to NYC in the past.
|
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
694 is looking for another win this year for sure (maybe championships, too). Last year we finished fifth in Galileo, and ended as quarterfinalists in NYC, UTC and FWC. Not bad so far, but we're itching to prove that we can do more.
But honestly, I'm just excited about the Aluminum Falcons visiting. Usually strong traveling teams do really well in NY. Looks like this will be a great competition as usual. |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Good luck to the teams this year, especially the Chairman's Award.
Little did we know that if you won the CA Award, there is a FIRST sponsor that pays for your registration expense for a regional the following year. We surprisingly found out when i signed up for Houston, only to find that it was then paid a few days later with $1000 credit going toward CMP also. :) I'm curious as to what other regionals do that also. Its the first I've heard of such an award. |

Hey, Mighty Monkey Wrenches! Awesome. 1676, 195, and 125 also did really well last year. I'm definitely looking for an Einsteiner from this regional. (Preferably us.)
By the way, 694 is Stuypulse, not Stuyplus. |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
yea.... we decided to take a swim across the river :)
am excited to be able to play with stuy after some time and many of the other ny teams... should be a blast. am also glad we will have some other nj company with our friends from pascack (reminds me of last year such an awesome time) and cold fusion.. (reminds me of the 2008 alliance at NJ, 694, 1279 and 2016) As far as Einstein goes. gotta get through MAR (atleast for us NJ'ers) or NY first to get there.. heh. c ya in 5 months. |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Wow a lot of really great teams attending NYC this year. Probably the most stacked I've ever seen this field in large part thanks to MAR. Going to be an exciting event and the most fun NYC regional we've had in a long time.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones. |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Can't believe NYC is only 2 days away. Looks like its going to be a fantastic event especially in the eliminations. With a group of solid fender bots and another group of solid key shooters it will be very interesting to see how alliances form. I suspect that every alliance that makes the semi finals will have a very close together shot at winning the entire event.

522 got on first, then 125 pushed them up and tilted the bridge to the other side. Then 1635 got on and pushed from the other side. 522 used their bridge manipulator to tilt themselves up onto the angled frame of 1635 then 125 pushed in more. It was brilliant. All I got was a screen shot but I'm sure pics and videos will surface. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
That is amazing balancing skills.
Did the human player just make 5 points there? Or am I just seeing things when there scored jumped 5 points after balancing... |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Wow, that last-second balance in Semi 1-2 was something! Score was 28-27 and Blue managed to double balance to win 28-47, literally at the last second...
|
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
WOW The triple balance in SF2-2.
Brilliant driving, it looked like 125 was going to tip for a bit... |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Very sad to see 2168 knocked out, IMO, due to bad strategy.
Awesome to see 125 in the finals though! :D |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Here's a video of the last match, including the triple balance (16: SF 2-2).

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Hmm... Team timeout, then a Technical timeout to verify rules? What's going on at NYC?
|
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Watching the #7 alliance do a triple balance is great. 522 is able to tip up onto their partners' bumpers using their bridge manipulator.
|
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Crazy ballance #5 it's much smoother now, 522 just crawls up on to 1635 and 125 pushes them together.

Wow, crazy defense Final match 2...
Lots of fouls from both teams during the heavy pushing matches too... Red was able to stop blue from doing another triple balance, though... EDIT: Lots of things happening during that match... Not sure how this will turn out... |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
What strategy is more intriguing at this point? The 522/125/1635 hybrid-triple balance "dare you to score 40 points worth of baskets on us" strategy, or the 195/369/333 "blow this whole match up to see how you respond" strategy. A brilliant chess match to finish this competition.

Hmm... If Red didn't do crazy defense that gave Blue 21 foul points in final match 3, they might have had a better chance of winning.
 |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
My guesses until someone at NYC clears things up
Finals 2 - Inbounder shots that didn't register before the scoreboard vanished swung the 26-36? Otherwise I have no clue why, because Blue's strategy in not letting 125 on the bridge made total sense if it would've resulted in a tie. Finals 3 - Red decided that they didn't care about penalties as long as they stopped the triple. 333 still should've backed off after 125 was on the bridge (even before 1635 got on), but they seemed to be having issues/have given up by then. Great elimination rounds, congratulations to all the teams! |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Here's the video, thanks to trident for getting it up so quickly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifzwt...ure=plpp_video I have no idea what 333 was trying to do... it looks like they helped blue way more than they hurt them. |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Is it confirmed that they received the 9pt technical for bridge interfering? I assume so, because to me that red bridge is not balanced as 333 rammed it at the final second and is supporting 125.

Just an amazing event. So many great teams all around and an awesome set of elimination rounds. What a weird and wildcard alliance that formed in the 7th slot to take the entire thing, every time I saw the balance, it was better and better. It was so good that the field crew left the bots on the field for the award ceremonies.

Overall, it was a pretty good event, I thought the field crew did an excellent job running things and overall the event felt pretty pulled together and smooth. There were a couple things I think could have been managed better, but no event is perfect, so I'm not too concerned about it. The only other problem, was that they kept running those gosh-darned robot matches while my students and I were trying to have our dance party. (Anyone in the stands on the blue bridge side of field might recall 263s proud and terrible dancing ;)) That, and I now have video evidence that I'm a really terrible dancer... Overall, good stuff, I hope that the SBPLI event is just as fun. Matt |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
*shrugs*
Well, we came close. I'm glad that I was able to put on a show, at least. I even got to do one of the wheelies on Saturday! Quote:
Quote:
Obviously that didn't exactly work out.... Quote:
Speaking of vicious hits, we're not sure when it happened or what caused it but at some point either during our second semi-final match or the first final match the potentiometer on our front-left swerve module came loose and caused our swerve module to malfunction (as in, it was virtually never in the correct location). As you can imagine, that made driving really, really fun. The only reason we got flipped that match was because of that malfunctioning swerve module. I had extremely poor control over the robot, so I was totally unable to swerve or rotate out of the way. They just kept ramming and ramming us until they finally flipped us. All that ramming they did messed the module up to the point where the pins holding the gear and motor in place got messed up, so what we ended up doing was cutting all of the power lines going to the motors on the swerve module (both the swerve and drive motors). This turned this wheel into something of a idler, so I had a little bit more control of the robot in the next two matches (it was still plenty of fun to drive though, believe me). You could also say we turned that front-left swerve module into a very very expensive caster wheel, a mode that we are now lovingly referring to as "shopping cart mode!" In terms of our problems Friday and Saturday, it was mostly a mystery FMS issue that will likely never be solved. Basically, any time we ran the autonomous program where we backed up to the bridge, we would run that normally then we would have no control over the robot in teleop. The times where we started moving like a minute or minute and a half into the match? Those were matches where we REBOOTED THE C-RIO in the middle of the match so that we could control it. Eventually we just ran our two-shot autonomous program and that seemed to "fix" the problem, I guess. Oh, and we never really attempted any 3-point shots on saturday because of an issue with our shooter code, the code that automatically sets the shooter speed based on the height of the vision target. We did eventually get that working but we still had some issues with our auto-aligning code, so I ended up manually lining up the robot throughout the entire elimination bracket on Sunday. Luckily that auto-speed code worked perfectly after a few adjustments though. I do have to have to say now, it was pretty neat to see 125, 522, and 1625's crazy balancing method up close, and I like how over the course of the elims they got better and better. They were definitely a strong alliance. That first time they pulled the triple balance I was looking from the sidelines like "HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?!" and to be honest I was pretty surprised that they counted it, but you guys rolled with it and made it work. Pretty neat to see. __________________________________ So, all in all, I guess we can't complain about making it to the finals after starting Sunday in FIFTY-FOURTH PLACE. Again, I'm just glad that we were able to get everything working an put on a show for everybody. |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
First and foremost Team 333 would like to congratulate teams 1635, 522, 125 on their fantastic play throughout this tournament. They showed unbelievable skill and consistency in balancing their robot time after time.
Secondly we want to thank our fantastic teammates team 195 and 369 for giving us the opportunity to play with them. Team 369s robot was unbelievable and could do practically anything they wanted, a great scorer, defender and with the help of 195 managed to balance with ease. Team 195 never seized to amaze, and was the "kobe" of our team. No other team in the competition could match the consistent scoring of this robot. It was truly a pleasure playing with and watching these two robots. When it came to the final match our robot would move in bursts. We would have moments where the robot wouldn't get any communication and just stand there. It was truly frustrating and disappointing. It was even more disappointing that we felt we let our teammates down. Honestly I don't even think our robot had communication in autonomous mode. Our robot isn't as consistent as our teammates but we managed to make in shots in prior match-ups Coming into the finals we figured we could afford fouling as long as we stopped that triple balance like we managed to do in match 2. 40 points is just a huge obstacle to over come. Quote:
Once we started moving we thought everything was working fine again and tried to resume our job at defense but by then it was almost too late because team 522 and 125 were almost in position. And once again as soon as we got there we lost connection. Frustrated we just tried moving our joystick up and down trying desperately to get it running again only to get 1 last second of burst which unfortunately put us underneath the bridge which ultimately helped our opposing team. We do apologize for this and wish we knew exactly why our robot malfunctioned during the last match. Thank you everyone who rooted for us and once again THANK YOU TEAM 369 AND 195. I pray we could have the opportunity to seeing you guys next year. |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Congratulations to Alliance #7, and especially the Wizards. I did not see the triple balance coming at this event, and the first time they pulled it off I was sure it was a fluke. But no, by the end it was elegant, and all three robots worked together perfectly. You all deserved it!
Now, about the Javits center: I hear it is slated for demolition. May we help? |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Congrats to 1635, 522, and 125 on the win. Those triple balances were incredible, and the atmosphere was electric as you guys attempted and completed it for the first time :) It was awesome that you were able to accomplish it time after time with such ease as well.
Elimination matches in general were really quite entertaining. Lots of scoring in hybrid and always a flurry of activity at the bridges - congrats to all teams really, this regional was great. Still, I was a little disappointed to see my team come from CA and have comms issues in every match :( We tried various fixes, and had several other teams, mentors, and volunteers graciously take a look at our code/electronics to see if anything stuck out, but in the end, we still couldn't figure out what happened. Our symptoms sound similar to those experienced by several teams at other regionals (based on the Bayou thread), but it's hard to tell if the underlying cause is the same. (Also, apologies to 694 and 3059 for not living up to our/your expectations in QFs; if we had comms for the entirety of our match, I think our alliance would've had the chance to pull off something special). All in all, thanks to NYC for being so welcoming. The team had a great time (especially since we got Dean Kamen to sign our robot/shirts/etc :D ), and we're looking forward to competing hard at SVR in a couple weeks! |

Here is a clip from the NUTRONS' GoPro showing the Finals 1-1 balance.

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Congratulations to:
1635, 522, and our friends on 125 for using the unique combination of their robots designs to repeatably get the triple balance, ultimately resulting in the regional win. 333, 369, and our friends on 195 for making it to the finals after a long weekend of fixing and tuning in your machines. The Aluminum Falcons could not have been happier with our performance in Qualification 8-0-0 and #1 seed with some good co-op balancing and offensive work. "Fat Swan" was running solid and required little to no repairs, and was connecting to the field quickly and for the entire match. We would like to thank everyone who played with us, and choose to balance on the center bridge with us. We would like to thank and apologize to our amazing alliance partners 1676 and 329. Communication issues with the field (which I believe 1676 also suffered from), really took the wind out of our sails. After being eliminated in the semi-finals we spent the remaining time at NYC trouble shooting our robot, and are heading to CT with no clear solution. Without such problems we feel the results may have been significantly different. We wish you the best of luck the rest of your season. |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
Congrats to 1635, 125, and 522 for providing by far the most amazing set of elimination matches yet!!!!:D
Your methods proved successful with your partners on the seventh alliance by eliminating the second, third, and fourth alliances :yikes: on your way to capturing your third ny regional win! But probably most importantly is that you showed all the teams competing there, all 11 rookies and 54 veterans (not including yourselves :p), that you didn't have to build a superstar robot that looks like it could compete in the NBA to succeed. Over 99% of teams built a robot for mainly either offense or defense. I'm glad you guys decided to be the exception. It is truly refreshing to see an alliance win, not because of it's superstar captain's abilities (but credit is still appreciated;) ), but by a relatively simple robot that really any team could've built by themselves, without the need for some crazy sponsor or factory/warehouse of workers. Credit has to be given to the captain though, for recognizing the ability this team had managed to pack into their little robot :) I look forward to seeing how you guys do at St. Louis! |

Re: 2012 New York City Regional
I am a mentor for 1635 and I wanted to thank you for the kind words in this thread and thank the 66 participating teams for making it a great event (and a lot of fun).
Our school's program had a reboot a couple a years ago so from a lot of perspectives we were practically a rookie team last year. We've learned a lot last season and continue to do so this year. A special note of thanks to Team 3419, regional winners in Baltimore. They practiced balancing on the bridge with us during the build season, lent us a sensor for measuring the RPMs and helped us with some of our code. And finally thanks to our alliance partners Teams 125 and 522. I don't think we would have done much better with the triple bridge balancing even if we had cooperated in the design stage. |

Our approach will be to verify that our cRio isn't overloaded, that the radio is not getting EMI and is away from all metal. If that does not fix it, we'll see what else we can do. |
Re: 2012 New York City Regional
I took a picture of team 333 after they accepted their Finalist awards. I however did not get an email to send the picture too before I left. If you're from team 333 please PM an email to send the picture to.
