Re: 2013 MN State Championship

2 of the best FCS (in my opinion) will be here, if a team doesn't have FCS blocker I will be surprised.

Elimination prediction: (I may be biased)

Alliances
2512 - 2705 - 1816 (Semi-Finalists)
2052 - 2220 - 3313 (MN Champions)
2169 - 2177 - 3276 (Finalists)
2175 - 2502 - 2538 (Semi-Finalists)

I do not see a FCS winning as long as the winning alliance has a good defensive bot and 2 good cyclers.

Disclaimer: These are complete guesses, I have not used any data whatsoever to make my choices.

Re: 2013 MN State Championship

Really wish our team would have made it again to try and defend the title. Last year was my Sr. year on the team and it was an amazing way to end my 2 years (team started my Jr. year) as a student member of the team, but could not stay away from the team and came back to help out when I was not in college classes. Hope to get there and be able to watch more then a couple matches and not be stuck in the pits or behind the glass. 2175 if you guys end up winning its because of the velcro our team lent you at North Star, it was only because of your teams batteries last year that we were able to take home the victory!

I am exceedingly amused by those predictions; though it would be nice to team up with KnightKrawler again and our friends in Alexandria!

Also, I'm exceedingly afraid of KING TeC if their FCS is performing like it was in their last match on Galileo.

I agree, assuming those first 4 teams are captains I think one may pick another... In any case I'm thrilled to see we were picked as the winner

This is definitely true. With supposedly 8 matches being played in 4 hours there will be almost no time in between matches. I expect any team that does not think they are in the elite scoring category to use their 8 hours to develop a 60", or 84" blocker and just leave it on their bot. With so little prep time in between matches any alliance that finds itself against one of those 2 FCS in quals without a blocker will find it VERY tough to beat them. It would also make them look much more attractive come alliance sections.

Since you brought this up... 30 teams means every team will be playing every 5th match, on average. This means that between getting off the field and going back on, on average there will be only 4 matches. Going on the regionals and champs, we can expect match time to be 7 minutes or less - in other words, there will, on average, be just under half an hour between matches. Some times it may be quicker, other times longer.

Regardless, how many teams coming to Champs are still swapping between two completely separate set of red/blue bumpers, and how long does it take for you to swap? Last year this was an issue for a few teams. I hope teams are looking at it, and planning accordingly!

For 2175's robot, it is expected to be in our shop tomorrow (5/9/13), so maybe tomorrow or Friday for Duluth? We got a FedEX tracking number, so one of our mentors knows the exact details.

Re: 2013 MN State Championship

While I didn't talk directly to the shipping guys myself, I heard from another team that they were given an estimate of 4-6 weeks for shipping the robot back. I know several teams opted to ship an empty crate back and take the robot home with them on their bus (at least, that was their plan), in order to make sure they would have it in time to use the 8 hours of unbag time and be ready for States.

Re: 2013 MN State Championship

I just got word that at least 2 MN teams have received their robot crates back already. The crates are released 1-2 truck-loads per day, so there's could be little correlation between teams in an area... it could be dependent on which division you were in, or on a random order they were loaded into the warehouse from champs. One would hope they would be organized so all the robots from an area (like MN) would ship out at once, but I wouldn't necessarily count on it.

Re: 2013 MN State Championship

For future reference, if you would like to bring your robot home from Champs rather than shipping it, you can request a shipping exemption from FIRST (instructions were included with one of the weekly email blasts). We did this with the explanation that we wanted to be sure it would be back in time for the MN State Championship (and have adequate time to use our 8 hrs) and FIRST immediately approved it.

I hope all robots make it home safely and quickly!

Challenge accepted.

Minnesota had a very good record this year when it comes to match cycle times. I believe that our regionals were all consistently around 7-8 minute cycle times, and we frequently found ourselves ahead of schedule.

It doesn't have to be for just your team either, so if you know any data for other teams you have competed with add that in as well! So, the goal is to fill up this entire sheet with the proper data before the 17th.

HERE IS THE LINK

Thanks for all your help and see you guys at state!
Thanks for starting this. Our scouting team is going to meet tonight and I know they'll take a look at this sheet. There are still some blanks but it looks like over half the teams are filled in which is awesome!
