Who got the most hurdles? How many did they get? Did teams try to hide the other alliances balls in the corner? How did the robocoaches work? How was Hybrid mode in general? Did teams go for placement at the end of the match? Where balls typically knocked off the overpass? How many? Did anyone ever get the wrong ball in autonomous? Did robots on the same alliance collide in autonomous mode, resulting in less lines crossed? Inquiring minds wish to know!
Also, I know Litchfield has won this scrimmage before, and didn't the Gael Hawks do pretty well last year? I remember watching their ramps deploy at any rate. 
Heh. Wow, that's a lot of questions.  |
Yeah, the gaelhawks were with us, and we almost won.
*Head ref was some guy in an orange suit
*The laps turned out to make a huge difference, and there were some matches that were decided by them (if there were numerous penalties...)
*average score was in the 30-50 range for an exciting match, 0 being the lowest and 76 being the highest
*5-8 laps
*1-2 hurdles (0 low, 4 high)
*We got the most hurdles at 4
*one team tried, but it was their own ball, so i guess it was just a gripping problem. Those balls don't stay in one place for very long
*robocoaches were useful with human input, but not with full control of the robot
*lots of teams took advantage of (attempting to) knock the balls off, and making laps, or combining the two
*many teams did, few succeeded consistently
*teams attempted to knock them off placed balls, but since they were placed with <10 secs left, you needed a quick method to be effective
*?
*not that i know of
*not often... the only real error i saw was that some teams would run into the side of the divider, and would have their automode ruined. Not enough teams actually moved in hybrid to make this judgment.
that answer you?
