Field Crew Bragging Rights

[Mark McLeod]

There are some long outliers still included here. I just haven't gone through them to eliminate the really long ones.
Partially, they are there because they could indicate the extremes to which the field crew went to get teams running, but there's still no way to tell what the cause of any single holdup might have been.

A Maximum cycle less than maybe 4 minutes higher than the average cycle time would be a flag that the field crew wasn't holding up matches to try to insure that every team is connecting properly.
Of course, the further an event falls behind, the more pressure to keep the matches moving, so it may not be consistently true throughout an event.

Just another data point for the Michigan State Championship. We started all 128 qualification matches with 6 robots. (And all eliminations as well).

I know we had the advantage of high quality machines and field experience for all the teams but it was a great accomplishment for us!

[Mark McLeod]

I held Michigan State Championship out since it's really in a different class, much similar to Championship.

It has the distinction of teams that have all played two or more times, so there's little likelihood of a robot not being able to connect to the field and the drive teams/field crew have all been trained repeatedly at prior events.


Here are the comparable numbers:

Avg match cycle - # teams - # matches - Matches per team - Min Cycle - Max Cycle - Event - Week

0:06:50 - 64 - 128 - 12 - 0:05:00 - 0:12:00 - MI State Championship - 6

Chiming in to comment that we did not start a single match at the Smoky Mountain Regional with a robot bypassed due to failing to connect. We also had twelve rookie teams competing.

Both of the GTR's should be too. It was very hard to try to keep the pace going faster due to two regionals in one building doing "ping pong" matches.

It was an amazing sight to see and watch though!

[Mark McLeod]

I wondered why they were matched to such a slow pace.

They coordinated the start of one match on one field to the end of a match on the other?

Yes, so East would start and then west would run right after and so on. If there was an issue with one field, we would either wait or skip to the other field. If we didn't have to do that, I would think we would easily be at the front of the pack.

Oddly similar stats for two regionals of which I was part of the field crew!

[Alex Cormier]

Can we get an update with the CMP data?

Archimedes field crew wins the efficiency contest.

P.S.
I did not include the rematches on Curie and Newton in the above calculations.
On Friday both Archimedes and Galileo finished their matches before awards, while Curie (3) and Newton (1) had to finish afterwards.

Archimedes field crew wins the efficency contest.

Curie and Archimedes team queing crews traded divisions so they both ended up affecting the rating and both crews end up Einstein.

If you really want to get into the nitty gritty, there's data enough to calculate separate ratings for queuers and the personnel who did move with the field changes (Refs, scorer, field reset, cooperative teams count too).

I'll leave that to someone else though.

Not only do Michigan teams get about 12 matches prior to alliance selection, we only pay $5000 for our kit of parts and TWO district events.

Yeah, but we still have to essentially win twice to qualify for CMP :/
