Hi all. Just wanted to know what people think will happen in this year's matches... So, here is a list of quick questions I want to ask...

Question 01/19/03:

What's the highest stack an alliance can do in a match? How often will that happen?

I'm guessing WildStang stacks them 20 high in one match - mostly to impress everyone - and it will work.

How many stacks will there be in an average match?

6-ish. 2 HP stacks, and 4 additional stacks created by one/both alliance(s).

On average, how many stacks will fall during a match?

2-3.

On average, how many bins will be pushed to the none scoring zone?

5 on average, with 20-25 bins being pushed out every 4-5 matches.

On average, how many robots will end up on the ramp?

1 on average, with mostly 2 robots or no robots finishing on the ramp.

What modes will robots have for the autonomous period?

Seek and Destroy, Line Following, Dead Reckoning.

How many % of robots will go under or above the bar?

25%

How many robots will not be able to get over the ramp the first few matches?

Every team we get partnered with. Just kidding. 10%

What's the shortest time it take a robot to get up the ramp in the first 15 seconds?

On average, 13-15 seconds. Shortest, 6-7 seconds.

How often will an alliance get all the bins in the center to their side of the field?

Two times per regional / division.

Have fun! Wait for more questions in the middle of the week...
