Re: Divisions 2012

I don't know how prevalent this is for other teams, but 706 has fixed its shooting issues discovered at the WI regional. We now will actually be able to score a considerable amount of baskets compared to only 1 tele-op point all of the regional. If other teams in the mid to low end spectrum of OPR's have done the same, then divisions should be even more competitive than on paper. We expect our OPR of 9.4 to at least double. Has this trend been seen in the past or are we a singularity. Also who else knows of a team doing the same thing?

In regards to the triple balance post above, 706 has triple balance with ease on the practice field. I don't know if that counts though. =D (Curie)

We've knocked our reload time down by about half.

I was thinking the same thing. I think our team is expecting a performance better than what we had at our districts, but I didn't think we would be in the upper quarter of our division. (I know that 25/99 is technically not top 25%, but that was my initial thought)

On the other hand, I'm excited to see some of the teams we will get to compete with. I had been hoping to see 111 and 118 for a while now.

Don't count out 624 in Curie, the ability to capture balls off ramp and score them in Hybrid.

The FRC qualifying match schedule includes 5 hours Thursday afternoon, 1.5 hours Thursday evening, 2.5 hours Friday morning, 5 hours Friday afternoon, and 2.25 hours Saturday morning. Total of 16.25 hours.

6 minute match cycle time has proved an easy target for field crews to hit this year, because real-time scoring has worked very well. At several events I have seen the field run ahead of schedule by more than ten minutes, sometimes by twenty minutes. I think the MSC crew got ahead by half an hour at one point -- right before Dean spoke.

MAR was much the same. It seemed like every event was ahead of schedule at times. Chestnut Hill even had an hour long field issue and ended up finishing the day more or less on schedule.

I'll be shocked if any division falls as far behind this year as they did last year. Last year we had to scramble to get the right tubes to the right places, but this year the only thing that should really keep the field crew delayed is waiting for the drivers to take (or decline) the balls for their robot.

Don't forget squeezing and bouncing the balls off the ground before loading them into the robot.

This is only a list of the teams who have done a triple balance that counts so far this season.

Mr. Bill
My understanding is that FIRSt has already sent out these additional invites as 2851 has received one and is currently trying to put the money together to go to Worlds.
