Litter Aces

[VeqIR]

I'd like to give a shoutout to 3238 Cyborg Ferret's human player for putting on a noodle throwing clinic at PNW Glacier Peak this weekend, solidifying their #1 seed. They had an average of 31 litter points per match in quals, which is 13 points higher than the next highest in the PNW (average being ~10 per match).

Here's a good example of how effective a well-trained human player can be in a match:

I'm waiting for a human player to accidentally noodle the opposing alliance's stack. Has this happened yet?

Not to my knowledge, but there's a quick shot in 148's reveal video of their human player noodling one of their stacks, which is still pretty impressive.

I'm not sure that a noodle has the power to knock over a tote stack. However, I have seen a few videos and pictures in which one alliance's pool noodle landed on top of an incomplete stack, on top of which the opposing alliance was still able to place more totes on top of it. Those totes didn't count though since they technically weren't fully supported exclusively by the totes below it.

our human player scored 36 litter points in a single match at GTRC

I don't think anyone did better

I know that our human player on team 3238 scored several 40 point games. Our highest noodle score is 42 points in one match when one of our teams used a noodle in their stack for a stack.

I don't know about that, but there have been recorded cases of robots getting their lifts noodled. in fact, FRC 1983's human player did this to us in a Playoff match, incapacitating us for a good 15 seconds as we tried to get the darned thing out of our robot. whether intentional or not (he was probably the best thrower there, so it is possible that his aim was that good, but it's more likely that he got lucky), it was brilliant from a strategy point of view.

I'm waiting for a human player to throw a noodle and the noodle landing perfectly on the RC on a stack(assuming RC had no noodle before).

The RC wasn't scored but this is still pretty cool if you haven't seen it yet

Hah yeah that's what I was talking about. Now we just need to see it tossed into an opposing alliances stack Thanks for the link

The HP from Team 1629 (didn't catch his name) at the Greater Pittsburgh Regional was phenomenal! He was tossing well over 60% into the opposing zone, and I saw several of his throws bounce off the opposing driver station wall. He was definitely a factor in their alliance taking the crown.

I'm really surprised people aren't dedicating a robot to sweeping by eliminations you think you could train people on the other side to stop littering.

Hi name is "The Arm"!!! Actually, his name is Dawson and he is a phenomenal thrower and only a freshman!

I'll pass that on to Nico (our human player). It was definitely fun to watch and he has been practicing it a ton prior to the Glacier Peak Competition.
