YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2012's Week 1 Regionals

[Marc S.]

Considering the average amount of tubes scored last year at the championship by each robot during a match was about 1, and the average score in 2010 was less than 1, i'm going to say that the AVERAGE SCORE will be around 8. I would guess lower but also considering that a foul gives your opponent 3 points I suspect a 0-0 match may be very uncommon.

Very quickly, everyone is going to realize that any robot can score pretty much every time the shoot at the low basket.
Say 4 in auto
9 in tele
And It is trivial for a single robot to balance,
10 for balance.
= 23
Then you have to account for the slackers. (Unfortunately my team could be one. We are only a +1) Say an average of 16 per side.

24.

I say given that you can pretty much score in autonomous ill call 10-20 in auto.

In teleop, considering that the rebounder is only allowed to hold 2 balls that leaves 4 balls on the court with the optional 2 on the platform, given this much ammunition and an average load to score time being maybe 20 seconds for a good bot that gives about 12 pts in teleop (given the other 2 bots dont really score and leave the good bot to do the work).

In the endgame, ill give the standard 10 pts because its pretty easy to balance one bot on such a big platform.

my avg score mid tourney = 32 to 42 points

[George Nishimura]

I expect qualification to be around 10-15, Elimination to get around 30-40.

So let's average it out at 20.

I seriously question this notion.

I'm predicting it will be higher than everyone is thinking...

I bet we'll see some qualification matches with scores of 0-0, or the only points given are from penalties, thus, deciding on a winner. I also bet we'll see some matches with two high-tier robots on each alliance, thus, making each score ~ 50.

But as far as average goes, I predict on average, at least one basketball will be scored in autonomous. Let's say 5 points.
I predict we'll see somewhere around 10 points per alliance in teleop.
And probably one robot on each alliance will attempt to balance. Another 10 points - it should be much easier for a single robot.

The first time a double balance is achieved, the audience will be rather impressed, I'm sure.
25 points for an average match. But being the first week, there will be many penalties.
Let's say 6 penalty points - two penalties per alliance.

25 w/o penalties. 31 with.
We shall see in just over 6 weeks time...

[pandamonium]

27 points...

Just for fun I'm going to say guess the top score at the kettering district week 1 this year. With some high powered teams such as 33,51,70,494,2337 (no offence to the other teams there these 5 always seem to be on top of their game) and many other teams with good bots every year.
Average Elims Top Score
Auto 12 24 36
Teleop 15 33 50
End game 10 20 40(1 alliance will do this!)
Totals 37 74 126

Of course this is way to early to tell exactly how the game will be played out but its always fun to guess!

Week 1:
Average score qualifications: 35
Average score eliminations: 50
Top score: 100

I'm betting the average elimination score will be higher considering the 40 points for 3 robots balancing... altho how hard that'll be has yet to be determined.

I'll agree 35 is about the average week one qualifying score. 20 for 2 robots balancing (i dont think that'll be too difficult) 15 points in balls. not many scored in autonomous, fewer scored in teleop.

My estimation is that alliances will score around 20-30 points on average, with fouls pushing the score to around 50.

Let's add a little data to the flames. Below is a histogram of alliance scores in week 1 of 2006 according to the Blue Alliance. That is New Jersey, VCU, and the Pacific Northwest. So it is missing at least BAE, others may be missing too. The mean points scored per alliance was 28.2, this would be after penalties.



There are a lot of similarities between 2006 and 2012, but I would argue on the whole the 2012 is a much more technically challenging game with fewer opportunities for points. On the flipside, penalties add points to the other alliance's score.

If you pull directly in front of the basket, as close as you can get, all you need is a fixed ramp.

But it is all opinion. Everyone is free to question anything...

Also remember there was a 25 point bonus for 3 robots on a ramp in 2006.

This game is a lot harder, but with the penalty offset I think 40 is a reasonable score for week 1 quals at good events.
2x(2+3) auto = 12pts
6 balls in telop = 12pts
1 bot ramp = 10pts
2 fouls = 6pts
Total = 40
