Best Autonomous

[BornaE]

Hey Every One,
Unfortunately This years Autonomous Wasn't important enough for most of the teams to spend time on it, But it was the Most fun challenge for me.
so If you wanted to give an award to the best autonomous robot, what team would you give it to?

79, captain crunch had a great auto mode. They went middle under the light and hit it most of the times I saw it. Granted they were at every event I was at so I got to see them alot

[Bharat Nain]

1902 and 375. i can't choose - both are very sweet.

[Dan Petrovic]

Of the teams I actually saw in person: 1730 had the best autonomous mode.

How about 190 in 2004?

...wait...

I'd have to say from watching the webcast and the clip here, 340. That was a nice auto correct.

1730 had one of the best autonomous modes I saw this year. Along the lines of them were 910 and 233. All three of them tracked the light via the camera and were very consistent in scoring.

330 also had a very good auto but I think they dead reckoned theirs.

Yep. Just point and shoot and hope you guess right on where the rack will be. (We often missed, though we were close most of the time.)

67, 1114, 910, 1902, 368, the list goes on. I think if it scored a keeper, it wins. (Then again, I'm more mechanical than programming.)

233 anyone? They were the only team I saw score in auto on the top spider leg. They did it almost every time in the Archamedies eliminations, yet missed pretty much every time on Einstein. I think something was wrong with the lights on Einstein though, because 1902 missed pretty much every time as well, and if anyone should be hitting it in auto, its 1902. Did anyone else notice the auto misses on Einstein?

1902

1114

[Doug Leppard]

Coming into championships we (1902) had an 87% success rate. See this video:

In my opinion auto mode got us to Einstein, but it did fail in Einstein. Our banebot motors on our arms were failing and throwing off much of what we did.

I can't judge others because I spend most of my time in the pits, but I did see 79 and their flip over was really cool.

[Graham Donaldson]

One of the best ones I saw personally: 33, the Killer Bees. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Worked almost every time, if not every time (I can't truthfully remember) I saw it. Went up, scored on the rack in less than 10 sec., and then went back to the driver's station and got ready to load.

I would like to complement The thunderhawks and team sparx because they almost had two keepers during their play-off matchs and it was timed just about timed perfect so that the thunder hawks would score then back away so that sparx could score on the same coloum


Sorry about any spelling mistakes

1038 frequently scored on the top spider in autonomous.

67's auton was money in the Curie elimination rounds.

Also - I challenge more armless rampbots to try and score in auton during any offseason events. We attempted to do this on Thursday in Atlanta and actually were somewhat close if our aim was better, and I believe some other team actually tried it during the qualifying. You may find the tops of your ramps to be interesting places to hang a keeper. If anything, even if you don't score the keeper, it may help buffer you against getting the spider leg stuck inside your ramps if you wish to try a defense rack bump auto mode. Hey, it beats just sitting there.

Who will be the first armless bot to score in autonomous????

1902, 386 and 233 are the three that immediatly come to mind
