Re: Car Nack Predicts 13-3
This is what the great Car Nack is. Can't help you on who he is though. I'm Looking Forward to finding out who he is, eventually. Perhaps once I ascend the ultimate echelons of FIRST.

Leeland, Car Nack has been known to play games with wording before. Every word is deliberately chosen. I believe one of the predictions from last year had a very similar wording, regarding 6 robots on a bridge (not specifying whether all 6 were on one bridge, 3 were on 2, or 2-2-2--one of the three could not happen, while the other two happened quite frequently.) As such, Car Nack can be shown correct, even if only one robot makes a climb to the top. All three robots on an alliance scored 30 climb points, even though only one robot scored them. If all three robots each score 30... well, that's a lot harder to do, and I suspect there might be one. Either way, Car Nack gets this one right, pending further clarification from the camel herder of the Endless Sands. |

For you young folk out there. Carnac the Magnificent was a character of the great talk-show host Johnie Carson on the Tonight Show.

I don't think I've ever seen a well executed low goal scorer miss elims at the regional level, and in multiple cases I've seen them do quite well. If you showed up to any regional with a 1 point dumper with a working autonomous, 2 rounds in teleop, and a working 10 point hangar you would be a 2nd round steal. |

![]() That would require the other two robots to have mechanisms that do not conflict with that space while achieving their climbs. Attempts to put multiple robots in the 30 point zone also put each robot at risk of being knocked off by an alliance partner. I can't wait to be proven wrong here, but even if it is possible I'm not sure the teams would choose to risk it in season. |

On another note, I could totally see a late divisional qualification or an Einstein, and definitely an IRI match, where this happens. MSC and MAR Championships are other great places where we can expect to see this. I do not doubt that there will be a 6 bot climb, but the question is, how late in the season will this be? |

I would agree with this prediction, but not in the way most have taken it - <G30> could be the cause of this! If you have an overly aggressive defender, who tries to stop the members of an alliance from climbing, it could result in each member of the alliance being awarded the 30 pts. without actually having them make the full climb.

.... Silly mobile devices, it cut out "G30" from my response!

Re: Car Nack Predicts 13-3
Just out of curiosity, did this ever happen? I know it never happened in a match, but I was hoping to have it happen in a practice match or an offseason or something.

Re: Car Nack Predicts 13-3
It hasn't happened this year and I doubt it will. The most our team participated in was a double 30 point hang with 236 in a practice match on Archimedes. Also did a double 20 with 1831 at Pine Tree (5 more seconds and it would have been a double 30) and in a match at IRI 1334 hung for 30 and we got stuck on level 2.
