Catalyst 2013 High Scores

[JesseK]

So is it just me, or is that walking tall bot totally illegal? They should also put the perspective at eye level with the driver stations rather than well above the driver's station.

More videos please!

Very insightful.

Walking Tall is completely illegal. DBS said they would fix the height so that it was legal in an update coming this Sunday.

I haven't been able to get Walking Tall to consistently go in after the update. Any tips?

Instead I've been trying to use the upgraded Cannon hanger design to get up there, and I'm at like the 105 level with that. I bet with enough skill I could do it, the problem is once you run out of field discs there are massive diminishing returns on going to the human player for points and you just can't get above that threshold 2 discs at a time. Walk Tall has the red discs as an option and holds 4 so that's why it can get better scores... Now I just gotta make the new design go in the goal every time.

I'll have time to attack your high score this weekend, robotics is eating all of my time that school didn't already consume.

start at red 2, get the one frisbee from under the tower so you have 4, score turn around get the 2 (6 in auto.) then clear the middle, 4 red, 1 run of 4 white frisbees, and quick score in the last 20 seconds.

(you have to line up perfectly, take your time)

That's the general strategy I'm using, the problem is for some reason when I'm up against the wall about half of my frisbees don't make it into the goal. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. I'll take video next time I do it.

I usually hold the joystick so I don't move back at all.

I found out the problem. I play with an Xbox controller, and for Walk Tall, the spit speed seems to be determined by how hard you hit the A button.

Since I didn't like smacking my thumb every time i wanted to score, I switched to the cannon. My high score with that is 120, which is within 8 points of the mighty Original Walk Tall.

If you run into the tower (the side closest to "you" and so it is pointing straight at where you are trying to score), you will score 3 pointers. With this, I am able to clear out the entire middle field frisbees, get 24 pts in auton, and climb for a 30, getting on average 114 pts total. Not as good as the walking tall but thats all I can get with the cannon...

With the hanger, just drive into the tower from the far side. Without a hanger, either have your back bumper even with the colored line, or have the back half of your robot in the shadow of the tower for a closer shot.

Red / Blue 1 can turn slightly and make shots in auto.

104 in high goal white discs, no hanging. I didn't screen cap it cause I thought I could do better, but then I got a bad case of homework. I'll try again tomorrow.
