Suffield Scrimmage videos

[Robby Unruh]

What were some of the average scores seen at Suffield? I have no doubt in my mind after seeing two or three videos of this, that minibots are definitely going to be a game decider.

From what I remember watching the stream, they were relatively low(usually around 3 or 4 per alliance). The highest score I remember was 29, which was one tube on middle row and a minibot, minus a three point penalty. The other team got 18 points, with a top row logo. IMO this shows how important a minibot will be in some matches.

I recall seeing in a match one alliance getting close to completing two top row logos. With some getting autonomous working there will be more points. Minibots definitely reign supreme over tele-op. When it becomes the circumstance where by now a bunch of teams can deploy minibots, and perhaps speedily probably in eliminations, then the tube hanging becomes the game-changer to the game-changer.

I believe there was one round where the score was 41 to 6. The winning alliance had a completed logo over an ubertube on the top row plus a second completed logo. It was an impressive showing.

So are all of the match videos going to be able to be posted somewhere soon for our viewing pleasure?

It's not of Suffield Shakedown, but I've been working on uploading some videos I took at the Week Zero Scrimmage in Nashua, NH last weekend. I'm going to upload all of the elimination matches. They're zoomed out so you can view the entire field - some will be happy, others disappointed, I'm sure!

The first of the finals matches:

The others are being uploaded currently! Hope they help those who haven't seen Logomotion played yet to see what it's like (be it at a pre-ship level!). Best of luck to all teams as the competition weeks approach! :-)

Ouch that poor minibot in match number 3!

Good job guys, way to make me proud!

Thank you so much for these videos! Yet there's still not enough to tie me over until next week's New Jersey Regional!

Is it just me, or does the nearest tower register a first-place minibot as soon as the hostbot hits the base of the tower in this match? I'm sure the minibot is fast, but not that fast....

If anyone has match results, we can put them on The Blue Alliance :-)

I can check with the mentors on 176, but as far as I know, scores weren't recorded, and the information wasn't kept.

[Jessica Boucher]

Red: 125 999 40 (and 88 swapping for 125 in Finals 3)
Blue: 175 176 177

Finals 1: 21R to 18B
Finals 2: 6R to 41B
Finals 3: 24R to 22B

Re: robot contact tower
I do believe that when the robot made contact with the base of the tower when the lights were pulsing, it did activate as a minibot contact at the top. I hope FIRST saw that.

Yep, the lights at the top of the tower did register a first-place finish for that tower, even though a minibot never even began to climb! The scores after the match didn't reflect any race bonus, so no damage was done in that case...

I do hope that such an error wouldn't happen again... if there were multiple scoring minibots, the false trigger at the beginning could have thrown off the ranking of the minibots!
