Ok everyone, this is pretty simple. The max points that team 271 can get not counting thier partner is 30 (10 balls, 2 goals, or 10 balls 1 goal, and i think they have a tongue for 10 more). So all you have to do to beat them is get 1 goal, and 21 balls for a score of 31. We beat them many many times before mayham and then they figured out that they could not do their strategy anymore because the points were not high enough and they attacked us. Thats how they beat us those two times and we give them props for that. But otherwise if they stick to their strategy it isnt that difficult to score more points than them.

As for 88, we have beat them quite a few times but I must say that they have put up a fight a few times. They are easier to beat because they only grab one goal leaving two other goals free usually so it is not that hard.

We will see who puts the best strategy together at WPI

I am still hoping our new drivers can pull this win off with the little amount of practice and experience they have had but I will be praying.

Also I think its crazy that teams are working so hard on their robots. We are basically doing system checks on it once a week. We have not changed anything on it because we like her the way she is.

You want to go one on one with the GREAT ONE!!!

Ok you gave me a shot 121 so I'll give it to you back. 121 is not invincible and actually ask them about UTC we beat you then in the qualification rounds (unfortunately we didn't have the strategy to take you out in the finals) and WPI with all the talent we will beat you again. The key is you need to playDEFENSE outscoring is not going to happen unless your 95 or some other good ball bot. Now if you posess power just let them fill the goal and take it away from them for some ungodly reason they like to run up the score so they entrust their goal to whoever their alliance partner is. Take the goal you win as now 121 will be scrambling to find a goal to put balls in.
AS for Elimination Rounds go I can't give all my strategy after all you will see it Saturday and if it all works their will be no triple crown unless where within their alliance.

Just for Clarification, the reason we lost that round in UTC is because we accidentally put our agitator bar backwards, and therefor couldn't dump.

And in Rally in the Valley the reason you were barley able to push us a zone and a half is because you had the dirty birds were helping you, and we had a battery that was kind of low.

Plus we know 88's strategy , they don't have many options.

well, first off, we can get 40 points just by our selves, 2 goals, 10 balls and a tether. plus what ever our partner gets. i have to say that we probably work the best with a ball getter, like 121 and buzz. plus our strategy is always changing, sometimes we get 10 balls, sometimes we don't, sometimes we only take a few balls. 1 or 2 goals? who knows? remember we're .271, not 71, we have more than one stratagy.

121, what happened? i thought we were friends now. i know we didn't get along too well at ralley in the valley (2/10's of a point!) but i thought we made up at mayhem on the merrimac. i mean, we won each level of the finals in 2 matches. we never lost a match in the finals!. i think that our two robots work well together. i am looking forward to being allied together for at least a qualifying match, who knows, maybe even the finals again.

271, I was not putting you down I was just posting with the title of the post which was how to beat you guys. I simply gave an idea. We did work good together at Mayham. If you cant beat them, join them- so thats what we did.

Angry Almost Flipped?

I just want to let 151 know that although it looked like they might have some close to flipping us, they really didn't. I was the driver there, my first time, and I was turning the same time they hit us, they might have knocked the robot off balance a little, but since we were holding onto a goal they would of had to flip us, and the goal. Something that i don;t think would happen!! 151 is VERY strong but not strong enough to push over 300+ pounds!

Not really (Filliping us I mean). I wasn't there but I saw the video. We were latched onto a goal which means our CG was probably bellow the carpet. You did poke a nasty hole, at our expensive lexan.

Anyways, I have always liked 151. They came up with a pretty decent robot, and we won River Rage with them last year. maybe we can be partners in BattleCry.

ok lets all look at the facts (and this is clarity not offensive attack),

271: Great Power, pretty good strategy, ability to grab 2 goals and score 10 balls each match. Been in the finals alot. won mayhem with 121.

88: Moderate Power, can only grab one goal, and can only score in home zone with carpet. Strategy could use some work. been in finals alot. constantly beaten by 121. no wins this year to my knowledge.

151: Moderate power. Flipped over at utc. ability to grab 2 goals. Constantly beaten by 271. no wins this year to my kowledge.

121: Good power. Great ball handling ability (can pick up 20 balls, grab one goal, move into scoring zone and dump within 25 seconds from start. Goal grabber is one of the best. lowest seed has been 4th. Lowest finish has been 5th in the nation. Have won 3 out 5 competitions. National motorola quality award. need i say more?

ok i will.

those are the facts people. When push comes to shove. 88 pushes 151. 121 pushes 88, and 271 pushes 121. when it comes to balls: 271 puts in 10 hp balls, 121 puts in 40 yellow, and 88 and 151 watch in horror as they get beaten by 271 and 121.

next time you want to downplay a great team like 121, review the facts.

First and foremost,

Dear Kyle Fenton,
Thank you very much for your kind words, Riverrage last year was my first competition as a driver, and it was great, i will always remember it, and if 151 doesn't win battlecry it will be my only competiton win with 151 because this is my last year. So thanks 121 and 190

Dear Rickstar121,
I don't think anyone was trying to downplay your great robot , just saying that you are beatable, its tuff but can be done. I wish you guys the best of luck at Battlecry and would love to work with you.

Secondly,
Just a response to you evaulation of our robot, You'll notice we tipped once at UTC and then never again, our drive module was assembled loose and that allowed it to drag on the carpet. It hasn't happened since.

Everytime we have gone against 271 they have had kick butt partners, at utc they had buzz, at ralley, they had the Cyberknights, at mayham the had 121, i think one on one we could take 271 but thats just my opinion. They have a great bot.

Thirdly don't underestimate 151, You must have missed it Rickstar121 but we a divisional semifinalist at Nationals,
and we are building a teather for Battlecry, and have fixed our breaker problems.

Goodluck to all :-)
Chris
Team 151 the Wildcards
