Anyone know how long the climb takes?

1425 is another FCS (Central Washington Regional Winner) with ability to strafe and shoot if blocked.

Team 1772 should have a FCS blocker.
They proved to be a successful blocker against 836 at palmetto. I'm designing a simple retractable FCS blocker that extends to 84".

I would keep an eye on them as a second pick if they don't end up seeding up top, which they have had a lot of luck seeding pretty high this season.

Like I said they are a pretty reliable 3 Shot Auto, and with the accuracy adjustments we've made their driver control should contend with the best cyclers.

I didn't see them blocking FRS at WCFR. I think could be a very good blocker though.

We were getting a climb and dump in an average of 24 seconds at Oklahoma (once at the pyramid) however we have a solution to make this faster for worlds.

Here is a video of it

Their climb and dump don't really have the ability to put them ahead. They need to finish with more wins than everyone else or they aren't going to seed first (unless they end up with a lot of partners who can run 5-7 disc auto). The number of points they score in the endgame won't help that.

That's what I was referring to. 50 points does have the capability to win matches.

Here's some updated stats. Please keep updating the pit scouting spreadsheet guys. I just set up the spreadsheet to update from there, so until I have some time to research that's all I can get.

At the end of the day, it's all points, right? I look at it this way.

I picked a qualification match for 1114 that looked like what I imagine most qualification matches to be: they'll will hit all of their auto points, make 11 white discs in 3 cycles, and make their 50-point play at the end.

Let's pick 118 as its analogue. Very high OPR that squeezes out extra points through its floor pickup. In a qualification match with 254 that I picked, I believe they went 6/7 on auto, made 5 cycles but missed 4 discs, and got their 10-point endgame.

1114 barely edged it out in this case, but 118 runs a cleaner game in auto or teleop where Simbots are pretty much maxed in each section of the game. 1114 would be hard pressed to get a 4th teleop cycle in their current routine.

However, the dynamics of this division depends on who seeds first. If it's a floor pickup machine with a perfect 7-disc auto, they would probably pick 1114 and make their second pick a robot that could reliably deposit the discs they and 1114 can't get in their routines. If it's 1114, they have a pick of the most reliable 7-disc auto. If it's neither of those, I assume you have a very strong pure cycler. They HAVE to pick a 7-disc auto machine but if a lower seed can create an alliance with 1114 and a floor pickup machine, it would be a tight match.

Another thing to remember is that the current world high score is held by a cycler (1114), pickup (2056), and a full court shooter (4069). In our second regional we had programming issues, and they should be fixed for Thursday! Watch our for our laser beams!

I don't think I've ever seen 1114 do only 3 cycles, usually 4-5 before their climb, unless there is really heavy D on them. They have a large Teleop+Endgame points advantage on the field.

I just marked robots with octocanum with macanum because I wanted to distinguish them. (low traction, etc.)
