164/3 = approx. 55 discs (meaning something was scored not in the 3 point goal, but lest just say they all were because that gives the best case scenario to Newton)

Now divide that by 4 to get the amount of trips.
55/4 = approx. 14

Saying that there were only two robots operational to put that up that much, that means that each had to average 7 trips (28 discs) in two minutes AND make every shot. Also, remember sabotage needed at least the last 30 seconds to climb. Even though one of the robots on Newton has a pickup, they would have had to put up a LOT of discs, and this just doesn't add up to me.

Does anyone else think this is fishy or is it just me?

I don't think getting 14 cycles off with 2 robots is possible, especially with a team that has to take 30+ seconds to climb. that would mean 3476 did 8 or 9 cycles alone, and the max that anyone has ever done is 7, which was with 610 and little to no defense. I think there must be some miscount in scores or something.

Yes, let's get rid of the only division represented by a woman. /sarcasm

Was there a FCS?

[Clayton Yocom]

A mis-score? Did they not count right?

[Michael Hill]

Wait...what?

Exciting times...

Rescored: Galileo won

Something's funny--you saw the 2-robot scoring if 254 points were scored. That means that SOMETHING wasn't counted right.

Doesn't inspire confidence in scoring.

Yeah, thats a pretty big blunder.

Nope. OTOH, this isn't the first time this season--Portland, wasn't it, that found a red disc in a goal after a match that didn't get counted, and that changed the winner entirely.

And it's the second year in a row there's been an issue on Einstein. This time, guaranteed field personnel fault, not a robot problem. (Though there have been a couple of robot issues, I'm pretty sure they haven't been related to comms this time around.)

That was at the Central Washington Regional.

Perfect 7-disc autonomous plus 2 3-discs by 1477-610-1241.

Last known score was 165-205 in favor of Galileo.

Was it just me, or did 3476 have trouble scoring those last disks in the 3-point goal because the goal was overflowing?

[rmhooks573]

that auton was perfection on the blue alliance.
