Re: 2006 Canada's Wonderland Off-Season Event

Here are the full results:

1. 1114 - 2000 - 1680
2. 1503 - 0610 - 1547
3. 1112 - 1281 - 1605

SFs: 1 def. 5 (2-0), 2 def. 3 (2-0)
F: 2 def. 1 (2-0)

Skills Competition:

Ramp Racers: This competition featured a race down the field, up the opposite ramp, back up the field and up the ramp. Team 2000 beat team 1281 by no more than an inch.

HP Shoot Out: 9 poof balls were placed on the field at varying distances. The target was the center goal. The further the shot, the more points you were awarded. The winner was Team 1310

Aim High Frenzy: 2:10 on the clock, who can score the most points, simple as that. Team 1114 won this event with 90 points.

Judged Awards:

The "Tent Shaker" award (Spirit): Team 1547 for always making their presence known in the stands and on the field.

The "Not in My House" award (Best Defence): Team 771 for playing suffocating defence all day long, including 2 matches where they kept Team 1503 from hitting a single shot!

The "Corvette" award (Best Drivetrain): Team 1281 for their solid, robust and effective drivetrain.

The "Look Ma, no Hands" award (Best Autonomous Mode): Team 1114 for their camera aided autonomous award, which would detect contact from other robots, move away from it, and shoot.

The "X's and O's" award (Best strategy): Team 2000 for always finding ways to win matches despite playing some formidable alliances. This team continued to find the correct balance between offence and defence, and snuck out many wins on the day.

The "Stylin' and Profilin'" award (Imagery): Team 1680 for their gold and purple anodized robot.

The Judges award: Team 1219. This team broke the competition port of their controller early on in the day. Despite this seemingly insurmountable obstacle, they spent the rest of the working on a solution. After collaborating with a few teams in the pit, and hours of hard work they were able to come up with a fix and make it to the elimination rounds!
