Video of 2056

[dsherw00d]

378 participated at GTRE with 2056, 2852, and, 3710 - the winning alliance. We were the #2 pick of the #8 seed which put us on the field the same time as the #1 alliance. When I looked at their side after the first round, I saw 6 containers on 6 stacks with at least 2 six stacks. The only reason they didn't have 7 is because we took one before 3710 could grab it. They didn't even do their 3 tote auto stack in the simis/finals. I can't imagine a better alliance than this one other then one that grabs 2+ middle containers in auto and does the same stacks. The only way to stop them is to deny them the 4 center containers and be able to use them. A handful of teams could grab the at least one center container, but could not make effective use of them in 2:15. I'm surprised there isn't more video and chatter on 2056 and this alliance. I think 2056 set a new high score in one of the qual rounds with 202 which was awesome to watch. They were amazing and 2852 was up there as well!! Everyone could have predicted the winner early Friday.

Canada has many excellent robots - we won a 2014 off season event with 610 and 1241 in Rochester, NY.
