Re: BAE Granite State Regional

what an awesome game, what an awesome regional, what awesome teams, we all know how good all the bots were, but i do have a few questions:

was it just me or did the bottom seeded teams, especially the ones that were added on (9-11) not know who they were selecting, they almost always picked a robot that was already on the playing field. also the team the alliance captain finally decided on, made it seem to appear as if the team had not done scouting?

anyway: Good Job to 133, 1276, and 1519

Re: BAE Granite State Regional

First off I'd like to thank 1517 for providing us with batteries, as our robot was a wicked power hog, seeing as we managed to trip the 120 amp fuse in the final 20 seconds of Finals Match 3. If anyone has any footage of any elimination matches I'd love to see it. Also thanks to our awesome alliance partners for helping us put on the show we did. 1519, you blew me away last season, and unsurprisingly did it again, and 133 thanks for mentoring us and letting us pick you.

After this regional, it seems all shooters are the way to go. It also seems the camera is far often more trouble than its worth (case in point: 172 took off their entire shooting mechanism and replaced it with a hopper because they couldn't get it to work). 296, I really wanted to meet you on the field, as you guys had one powerhouse of an alliance, but there's always next year. 40, you guys had an incredible autonomous routine, as did 319 and 1100. 562 and 549 are really good at the lower goals. 1721 is an incredible rookie, I have no doubt that they'll be back, bigger and better in 2007.

Congratulations Andy Grady on your WFA!

Thanks to all the event staff for putting it on this incredible event. It really was a great time.

Re: BAE Granite State Regional

iCurtis, you guys built the robot that we wanted to build but didn't have the cojones to try.

The second you came out there my dad and I were like "oh no they di'n't!"

Seriously...your robot was awe inspiring.

Although I'm not sure that your thing about the vision thing was correct. Was 296's autonomous mode vision driven? Or their recalibration? Because they had probably the best pure distance shooter at the competition.

After BAE, there is one ironclad conclusion:

Barring a bewildering and incredibly unlikely twist of fate, if a team can score five or more balls during autonomous in the center goal and gain the 10 point bonus, that team will win.

I mean, 296's alliance scored 51 points between them during one alliance match entirely in the 10 second autonomous period. When their shooter was on...I never dreamed, in my wildest Laverian fantasies, that such a robot might come to pass. It was like witnessing Revelations. Same with your guys dominance, too--the way you crabbed and juked along the top of the ramp to position yourselves gave me goosebumps.

I don't think I've seen two teams (296 and 1276) so completely beyond the pale of performance since Hyper built their incredible arm bot in Raising the Bar.

And for those of you who think I am hyperbolizing...wait until some tape is uploaded.

--Petey

p.s. As I said in another thread, a special kudos should be extended towards 1519 for being a sophomore team made up almost entirely of sophomores that has won themselves a ticket to nationals for a second year in a row. Wow.

Amen to that. On thursday watching practice rounds, I watched 1276 pop up to the top of the ramp, blast a bunch of balls right in the goal, and pop down, no issue. I immediately thought to myself "well, if we run into them, we'll just hold them on the ramp and they'll give us 5 points at the end of the round". It didn't take long for that strategy idea to be proven wrong...no one could keep them on the ramp, and teams were having a hard time preventing them from getting up it. Great work guys, and congrats to you along with 133 and 1519 on the regional victory. Also congrats to team 190 on Chairmans...it was a long time comming for you all.

Yes we were using the camera, both in autonomous mode and otherwise though sometimes we just shot by eye, belive me if YOU found that amazing, i was dumbstruck [im a rookie]. I think the reason it worked so well was because of our amazing programers and a solid bot.

Re: BAE Granite State Regional

Okay, I couldn't figure this out and though maybe someone could help me out. In semifinal 1.2 they play a crowd pumping song, and I can't figure out what the title is. Does anyone here know what the song is called?

I noticed you were able to get up the ramp at the start of the match easily, but not at the end. We guessed it was a battery problem.

I found them here. The server is terribly slow though... I only have the first 30 seconds of 25's round and they already scored more than the best shooter at BAE!
