Re: Most matches for a robot?
For 234, or matches are as followed for 2015:
Week 1- 12 quals and 2 elims
Week 3- 12 quals and 7 elims
Week 4- 12 quals and 8 elims
Week 6- 14 quals and 7 elims
Archimedes- 10 quals and 5 elims
CORI- 4 quals and 7 elims
IRI- 9 quals
Indy RAGE- at least 5 quals and 7 elims (We were finalists and I'm not sure how many qualification matches were at that event)
CAGE Match- 7 quals and 7 elims
Total: 135 matches +- 3 (Not sure 100% on Indy RAGE)
The wear and tear was 100% noticeable. By the time we made it to Archimedes, it was probably at it's prime. Started to degrade as we went into IRI for sure. The robot basically fell apart as we went into Indy RAGE. Our arms attached using bolts in order to fit into transport configuration. A hole in which a bolt goes through to attach the arms got so loose that the arm would flex so match that after a certain height, the stack would just fall over and out. Unfortunately, that resulted in some bad results at Indy Rage, but we were able to fix the robot for CAGE Match. That's just one example of how intense the wear on a robot is after that many matches.
