Go to Post I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. - Arefin Bari [more]

Buying old Mat and mission model

Hi,

I have a brand new FLL team. We've bought robots and computers and so on. But we want to start practicing now. We want to buy a previous year's mat and Mission Model.

Can anyone give me some...

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

One of the most unusual changes I can imagine is moving the Autonomous to the end. Imagine having to load your robot, Clear your opponents scoring area, and position your robot so that your...

Re: Fully autonomous game

Sorry I haven't read the whole thread. Anyway, here's my view. Perhaps 30% of teams have an effective autonomous at the regionals that I've been to. You'd basically be eliminating 2/3 of the...

Re: Withholding most of your robot? Read this

Just to say it, We had kept the mother board including crio out last year and there was a good bit of trouble over it.

Re: Hinged Bumpers?

We've had hinges (back when I worked with 3737). But we also had vertical bolts and wing nuts at regular intervals to guarantee hard attachment. Previous year and potentially different venue is no...

If the ref thinks you are doing it intentionally, then it is strategic.

Re: Flipping bots

There is something like a 10 sec to right. If you could swing the bumpers into correct allignment in that time, I suppose it might be allowed. Godd question for Q&A?

Re: Can an immobile robot POSSESS a BALL?

So, our big question is, "Suppose a robot looses connection to its drivers station. Then an alliance robot puts a ball into its receiver (as per its design). Has it then possessed it?"

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2014's Week 1 Regionals/Districts

A BALL that becomes unintentionally lodged on a ROBOT will be considered
POSSESSED by the ROBOT. Pretty obviously if it was intentional, it is then possession. So, I am saying that if the ball is...

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2014's Week 1 Regionals/Districts

ASSISTS are earned when a unique ALLIANCE ROBOT POSSESSES the ALLIANCE’S BALL in a unique ZONE

Point 2 - If an opponents ball falls into a non moving robot, the robot has possessed the ball,...

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2014's Week 1 Regionals/Districts

If an alliance partner can set the ball on top of (even a non moving) robot and then pick it up, an assist is awarded. If a second alliance robot can get into a second zone, (same scenario as the...

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2014's Week 1 Regionals/Districts

I'm saying averaging 104 for Quals.

If two of the robots are only able to move a little, the good bot places the ball in front of then in two different zones and they push it a foot. The best...

Re: Is throwing worth it ?

Robot B and C come down to the low goal that this defender chooses to defend. B parks in the goaley lane by the defender. C proceeds to score any way it wants at the other goal.

Re: Pre-Game set up

There are two lanes that are completely indefensible for each alliance (assuming semi normal goaley robots). I have a design that makes this untrue, but has no other use than goaley. So I don't...

Re: Auton

If you wait until you get up close, the wrong goal may be lit. (eg. less bonus points, or turning to face the right goal) and all in 10 sec.)

Re: Launcher Accuracy Graph

I think the biggest dependency would be more on allignment method, as proven last year. Many robots that pushed up against the lower bar of the pyramid had nearly 100% accuracy on the first shot. ...
