Only 4 qual rounds in florida?
Posted by Nate Smith, Student on team #74, Holland FIRST Robotics, from Holland High School and Haworth, Inc..
Posted on 3/14/99 8:07 PM MST In Reply to: The Society for More Qualifying Rounds posted by Joe Johnson on 3/14/99 7:43 PM MST: Well, if you figure 8 hours of competition on Friday(480 minutes), with an average of 7-8 minutes per round(with scoring time), and the 3 stages like they had last year...that gives you a total of about 180 rounds... If you figure in 4 teams per round and roughly 200 teams, that figures out to right around 3 per team on friday alone Then there's saturday...with only 8 alliances competing in elims, that gives most of the day for more qualification rounds...without a definite Florida agenda posted, let's say that qual rounds run from 9 to about 2, with an hour in there for lunch...that's another 4 hours(240 min)...which comes out to about another 90 rounds So, on saturday, that gives each team, on average, about another 2 rounds...for about 5 overall So, if i did the math right(it's late and i'm tired), that's only 5 qual rounds, which does seem awfully low...does anyone else see possibly another stage making an appearance in '99? one more stage does this to the math... total rounds: 360 total rounds * teams per round: 1440 average rounds per team(assuming 200 teams): 7.2 just one of the many ways to solve this problem...
