Go to Post last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. - russell [more]

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

90%, I still have some work to do. It turns out that email blasts aren't official interpretations of rules, and that I can't add to 130.

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

I got 90% so not bad for me. Missed the ones about starting height and surprisingly rule clarifications. My interpretation of that question was that the "manual" was the first printing and of course not very clear, so I only put Q&A.

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

I wish the ref test was this easy ...

I question this question:
Quote:
Students may remove the robot from the Pyramid immediately after the match if:
Removal must be done with the permission of field personnel (FTA, FTAA, ref, Field Supervisor). So none of the answers are correct.

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

Statistics:
In the first 20-ish hours this has been posted, the test has been completed 418 times.

The fastest passing grade so far is M. Farr from FRC 1425 at 1m43s (95%)
The fastest perfect score so far is A. Childers from FRC 3079 at 1m54s
The best-quizzed team is FRC 4063 with 17 people completing the quiz (it appears they did it all at the same time too)

Some of the fake names are amusing, but please still put a real team number if you are using a fake name.

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

90%

Missed the exact number of discs in a game and that the manual contains rule clarifications (isn't the manual the source of confusion, not clarification?).

I agree, this question should be rephrased. Wouldn't want drivers doing anything unsupervised (unsafe) based on their interpretation of the word "immediately".

Just to clarify, you actually don't need to start outside your Auto Zone for the extra disc; you just need to be in contact with carpet other than your Auto Zone's.

<G06>
TEAMS may preload White DISCS in or on the ROBOT before the MATCH.
A. If the ROBOT is in contact with any carpet outside its AUTO ZONE, the ROBOT may preload up to three (3) DISCS.


This means that if you are straddling the Auto Line, in contact with both Auto Zone and center zone carpet, you still get the 3rd disc.

Re: Ultimate Ascent Rules quiz

at the 48-ish hour mark, we have 964 results - I'm having to actually do some number crunching to get nice data now.

Best Quizzed teams:
Code:
team	unique names
1983	48	(Go Skunkworks!)
3324	38
2506	36
334	26
4063	17
3824	16
399	14
3319	13
4475	13
1529	11
158 of the results had no or nonsensical team numbers.
62.6% of all attempts had a score >70%

I'm looking for more quiz question ideas. I've gotten a number of nice corrections here and by email. I'd like to expand, though.

Thanks for all the great feedback!

Edit: another skunk finished while I was writing this post
