Don't forget we have the "Battle of Baltimore" folks in Maryland
and "Iroc" in Northern Virginia which team 1885 holds....those two
might be interested in joining this.

There wouldn't be a championship event, just a crowning of a winner based on the 2 events the participants competed at.

Also, we have absolutely not forgotten the Battle O' Baltimore or the IROC, we're just waiting on final confirmation from their event organizers on their participation.

Any word from Duel on the Delaware?

The Duel organizers are aware of this initiative, as are most of the 23 offseason tournaments on the east coast, in every state from Maine to Florida. I suggest that if you plan to compete at one of these events this year and you want your team's results to be counted as part of the championship series, contact the event organizers and tell them that you'd like to participate!

We here at Roboticon Tampa Bay are interested. Looking forward to learning more...

The Rumble in the Roads has been scheduled for October 4th in Newport News, VA. You can register on our website for the event.

It would be pretty fantastic if one of these competitions could be converted to a championship event. Might have to move it to November, but a champs would really make this into more than just a group of events.

The only issue with that is you are now requiring teams to attend 3 events instead of two. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could put in the time for an additional 3 events in the off season (although I know some teams do).

Also, with the events and teams being spread along the entire east coast, the cost for teams to get to the championship event would rival costs for the actual championship.

OK, let's see if we can reboot this thing.

Currently two Colonial Robotics Conference events are reporting ranking data:

• Monty Madness, Skillman NJ, 17 May 2014
• Rumble in the Roads, Newport News VA, 4 Oct 2014

At press time, two additional events were gathering preexisting data for inclusion in the CRC ranking.

Following up on earlier conversations in this thread, here are some of the additional rules we have used in corner cases to determine the CRC ranking:

• 4th robots are counted as part of the alliance for elimination points
• 4th robots do not receive any points for their alliance selection order
• B robots do not accrue points for any team

With these items being understood, here is the current leaderboard for the Colonial Robotics Championship:

1. 384 [68 pts Rumble]
2. 900 [66 pts Rumble]
3. 484 [59 pts Monty]
4. 4969 [54 pts Rumble]
5. 1796 [53 pts Monty]
6. 1089 [47 pts Monty]
7. 102 [47 pts Monty]
8. 1086 [46 pts Rumble]
9. 2363 [45 pts Rumble]
10. 2028 [43 pts Rumble]

11 should have 63 points from Monty (5/6 Matches Won (20), #4 Alliance Captain (13), Event Winner (30))

Oops, sorry. 11 was sitting just outside the range of my pivot table. Fixed now.


Currently three Colonial Robotics Conference events are reporting ranking data:

• Monty Madness, Skillman NJ, 17 May 2014
• IROC, Haymarket VA, 27 Sep 2014
• Rumble in the Roads, Newport News VA, 4 Oct 2014

Here is the updated leaderboard for the Colonial Robotics Championship:

1. 118 pts: 384 (50 IROC, 68 Rumble)
2. 98 pts: 339 (59 IROC, 39 Rumble)
3. 70 pts: 346 (37 IROC, 33 Rumble)
4. 66 pts: 900 (Rumble)
5. 63 pts: 11 (Monty)
6. 59 pts: 484 (Monty)
7. 54 pts: 4969 (Rumble)
8. 53 pts: 1796 (Monty)
9. 51 pts: 612 (IROC)
10. 47 pts: 102 (Monty), 1089 (Monty), 2537 (IROC)

I've attached the full list of points from SCRIW, along with how I arrived at the numbers. (SCRIW ran six four-team alliances, in case it isn't obvious.)

If I'm doing the math right, that means the top 10 stand at:

1. 118 pts: 384 (50 IROC, 68 Rumble)
2. 98 pts: 339 (59 IROC, 39 Rumble)
3. 70 pts: 346 (37 IROC, 33 Rumble)
4. 66 pts: 900 (Rumble)
5. 63 pts: 11 (Monty)
6. 59 pts: 484 (Monty)
7. 58 pts: 343 (SCRIW), 3490 (SCRIW)
8. 54 pts: 4969 (Rumble), 3701 (SCRIW)
9. 53 pts: 1796 (Monty)
10. 51 pts: 612 (IROC)

Should be really interesting to see THOR's impact on the rankings in a few weeks. SIX teams attending THOR have already attended a CRC event, and two of them already appear in the top 10!

• Coming from SCRIW: 1225, 1553, 2059, 3701, 4935
• Coming from Rumble in the Roads: 900

It's really scary though that, in order to win the CRC, we'd have to score at least 52 points at THOR. This might be tricky considering that at THOR I anticipate one of (if not our biggest) threats to be.... our own B team . If we manage kick ourselves out of the running, I am not sure wether I'll be more frustrated or amused.

If you're running a B team you become your own worst enemy.

Have fun!
