Speed to Goal?

To assist all teams in their scouting needs, team should probably post their speeds from start to goal. How fast does your robot get out from the start of the match until your robot makes it to the goals?

MOE's speed is 3-4 seconds.

Team 329 is also 3-5 secs to goal and latched on, this being with a speed of 6fps. Our Mighty Mouse moves much faster though (speed classified )

We get to the goal pretty fast. Not sure of the exact time, but it's way down there.

Hmm... our orange d00d does about 12, 14fps... distance to the goal is about 18'4".... over x... cross-multiply... carry the one... factor in wind-resistance.... carpet friction.... calculate drag co-efficients... We can make it in a little under 2 seconds on wheels if we go in a straight line. Then we switch to treads, the robot bounces up, and the power comes in

For a nice pic of our drive system, go here, here (while having some work done on the treads), or here (to see how the robot looks put together, except for the side panels)

We averaged snagging two goals at once from the starting block in 3.2 seconds.

From briefly reviewing some our matches, it seems that we collide with the center goal in near 2 seconds flat.

I'd imagine the side goal is a fraction of second faster, since it's a shorter distance away.

We can get to the goals within2-4 seconds of the start of a match depending on how good of a launch we usually get usually we get in around 3 seconds.

We're about 2 - 3 seconds to the goal. At Rutgers, we were one of the quickest to the goal.

just to clear this up a bit... how fast can you achieve in a match, not theoretically how fast can you get to the goals... i'm not implying anything, but well, i don't remember more than a few people making their grab in less than 5 unless i'm mistaken, but i've watched quite a few matches, maybe i missed all you guys (or a couple of ya). i'll admit i was fixing moe for most of the matches, but i would think that it would have been brought to my attention if someone was incredibly fast at the regionals i attended...(i have watched some web cast videos too)

i believe the original question asked how fast you can get to the goals... we can do that in about 2 seconds in high gear

our bot auto aligns on the goal and auto engages once we're aligned... this should happen after about 3 seconds

add about half a second to switch to low gear and SPAM's in business... 3.5 to 4.5 seconds for the whole process

on an unrelated note... at nationals i hope we're in the same division as MOE like last year... you guys cheered very loudly and we aim to beat ya out in the spirit department this year!! =-]

In about 7 seconds team 639 can get to the goals, get a death grip on them, and move them into our goal zone (it's all done in one movment, ram and grab).

Go to this stream from the NYC regional, seek to about 52:15 (Quarterfinal 3, Match 3). We're the bright orange crashers/blocker. It kinda cuts off of us at the begining, so you don't see EXACTLY how fast we go, but you get the idea. We play around with GRR for a bit (mainly block them from getting out of their homezone). Then it looks like we're suddenly about to lose. If you watch it to the very end, you can see how we're both a speed and power bot. In the last 30, 20 seconds, we go onto treads, push a robot with a goal from their scoring position into ours, go back onto wheels, and make it home with a few seconds to sit around and watch the action. This was one of our more fun rounds =D

a torquemonster - 007

Because Firestorm 4 has so much torque, it takes us about 5 or 6 seconds to get to the goals. We can get two goals to the fourth zone (and hold them there quite well) as early as maybe 16 seconds into a match.
