Go to Post In my line of work, we affectionately refer to this approach as "Seagull Engineering". Why? Because we swoop in, flap around making a lot of noise and commotion, leave a big mess of "stuff" behind and then fly off. - billbo911 [more]

Re: Most matches for a robot?

We ran 140 matches this year.

(Suffield,Waterbury,RI,Hartford,NEDCMP,Galileo,CT Champs, BattlecryWPI, WIWI, Bash at the Beach)
plus we run it hard on asphalt for hours at a time at summer and fall events (6 events) plus a bunch of short demos.

This year wear and tear wise we had started having issues at NEDCMP quals (match 70 or so) until we discovered and fixed a bent piece that aligned the totes in the stack -small issue with a big effect - otherwise the wear and tear was nothing compared to 2014 after 110 matches.

A measure of difference between years, this year we still have the original KOP wheels on from the beginning - in 2014 we needed to change them out every competition - with essentially same(or equivalent) drive-train.

Many teams have practice robots - does anyone have a conscious plan of a fleet leader - having their practice robot run more matches(simulated) than the gamer to ferret out wear and tear issues?
