How many robots have scored Super Cells?

[Elgin Clock]

How many teams have done this?
Just trying to get an estimation of how common it is.

Payload Specialists seem to be scoring them more than Robots in most cases.

We scored a Super Cell with our robot in NYC at least once & tried another time but a trailer was too full.
Lessons learned for future competitions...
For us, it was a lot easier for the Payload Specialist to hand off the Super Cell to our robot who made the score, than just shoot it halfway down the field into a moving trailer.

Have you seen any robots score the Super Cells at your events?

Thunder Chicken scored a couple of super cells at the Midwest regional during the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

I saw 27 try several times at kettering, but I did not see their robot score a supercell (not that it didn't happen). I did see 2771's robot score a super cell with their robot in the QF at Kettering. It was literally the last second of the match, they bumped into their opponents trailer and the cell popped out.

We preferred using our human player. He was in the top 4 for accuracy at kettering and made several last second shots. Currently he is more accurate than our robot, but that should change at the next competition. 65 also had a human player that made a ton of clutch shots.

1918 scored a couple in traverse city. but they stopped as soon as we pinned them to the wall. also Rush (27) gave one to the robot and another to the human player. I've seen Rush score it a couple of times with the robot. I believe that it depends where the traffic is at the end of the match will determine where you put the super cell in a robot or a easy shot.

20 Managed it during one match at BAE.

Our HP is pretty clutch so we let him shoot the SC's. At Traverse city he only missed 3. 2 were in the same match because the other alliance saw he had them and they all ran to the other side of the field. He still almost made both, only missed by a few inches or so each time.

I know 20, 27, 217, 1918, 2199, and 2771 have. Likely a number of others as well.

1519 and 58 each got one.

Video of 1519's supercell shot can be seen on the video archive of Granite State Regional match #51 at http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv...nh/nh_qm51.mp4 The supercell is scored with 3 seconds left in the match. Unfortunately, the video doesn't show the supercell going into the trailer (only the central pole of the trailer is in view of the camera), but it did!

In Troy, HOT 67 shot a supercell from their robot, missed, picked up the rebound, shot again and made it.

We will have video of that shortly. It was one of the most amazing plays I have personally witnessed this season.

2415 scored a super cell as the buzzer sounded in the finals match at Palmetto. It was the difference in the match.

At Cass Tech, our human player scored one super cell, then 217 scored another one with their robot in the closing seconds to seal the deal in the 2nd Finals Match. Result: District Championship!

At Troy, 217 scored two supercells at one time to seal the deal in the 2nd Finals Match.
Result: District Championship!

So watchout for 217 in the closing seconds of a match, they just might be carrying a supercell and they are deadly.

I'd say a little over half of the Wisconsin Regional matches involved a Supercell.

It seems a lot of teams have incorproated some sort of belt reversal / empty cell conversion as a "cop out function" on their robots; something they add in case their manipulator fails or the strategy calls for something different. Robots designed with the empty cell in mind that are quick and mobile, able to convert most or all of them in under a minute, will score themselves a great niche on alliances, especially if the robot can do something with the Supercell once it's in play.

We saw a few scored at Traverse City..
