Wildstang: Done

[AndyB]

Well after hours of painstaking camping outside of their motorola warehouse, i have managed to get a photo of Wildstangs 2007 robot. From what I saw, in autonomous it picks up all three opponents at once and places them inside the rack and then scores all possible 892 points by themselves.

either that is some really nice photoshop work or somebody knew the game before the rest of us.

Those are parts of two old wildstang bots photoshopped together.

You forgot to include the 2001 back ramp

I may be missing something, but how are you arriving at 892 points?

There are 21 possible tubes, allowing for 2 rows of 8 and 1 row of 5. Vertically, that gives you 5 columns of 3 and 3 columns of 2.

2*256 + 1*32 + 5*8 + 3*4 = 596

Then even if they pick up all 5 other robots on the field, that's 746. Are there other point-scoring I'm missing, or is there a more optimal rack arrangement?

For some reason I knew somebody would make a post like this today... heh. That makes me happy. Because if nobody made a post like this within a week... I was going to have to make one to keep my sanity. *pause*

Bongle,

Your analysis is correct. 892 and points would be the maximum score if an alliance could fill the entire rack with tubes.

3*2^8 + 8*2^3 + 60 = 892

Of course, as you pointed out, alliances only have 21 scoring tubes. The person who came up with 892 probably missed this fact.

I think we all have to realize that this means scoring one tube every six seconds. that alone would be pretty cool.

You had me at the description. You don't pick up opponents in autonomous mode

Thats what seperates Wildstang from the rest of the field....

So, wait, this isn't a real robot? It's just photoshopped together?


Speaking of a sign, I just now checked, and I currently have -111 rep. marks. Odd...
