First seed alliance captain: Low Bar or not?

I made this bold prediction not expecting to be 100% accurate, but with so many events going on this weekend, I am starting to get curious. So far, GTCR and Waterford Event (FIM District) have a low bar capable robot as the first seed alliance captain. Can we keep track of this statistic if anyone else is interested?

I apologize in advance for not being able to give out gift cards for the fastest contributors... Maybe one day

Re: First seed alliance captain: Low Bar or not?

We were low bar capable at Palmetto, however never once did we cross it, or actually become a height capable to do so. So technically one could argue that we were not a low bar robot.

Re: First seed alliance captain: Low Bar or not?

Number 1 seed at Northern Lights, team 2987 is Low-bar capable
At Lake superior, I think 4009 is able to but I could be wrong

Well it is an easier and quicker defense to cross eliminating the need to cross, say the drawbridge, which takes more time. This gives you more rp faster and a quicker cycle time

Re: First seed alliance captain: Low Bar or not?

3683 was #1 at GTRC and could do low bar. They did it regularly, too.

Not surprising. However it will be the tall 2nd pick that will win stronghold.

Re: First seed alliance captain: Low Bar or not?

5805 at San Diego looked to be low-bar capable.

However, their best defense was the Portcullis, taken at full speed.

So many things went wrong afterwards... my team's autonomous lowbar got caught for the first time (we actually had the highest auto score in quals at 186), our alliance wasn't able to feed balls fast enough to our shooter 3882 (which had the highest points of goals at 190) and after 5805 ran over us one of our pipes got loose and we lost all of our air and weren't able to scale.

Then the second match 3882's camera broke and they couldn't aim and near the end all 3 of our robots froze for a few seconds and 3647's hook got caught behind thr hanging bar.

Ya tell me about it... our shooter hex shaft broke in QF we were very lucky the Top Hats THANK YOU !!!!! happened to have the exact size laying around. and we had about an hour between our QF and SF since we were first up as alliance 8. I cannot believe we fixed it in time. It was amazing and tons of work to drill tap and attach.

We are going to a Steel Hex shaft in CV.

Also our camera was bent too "went unnoticed" in massive repair commotion so we were driving blind in SF and then our shooter jammed the ball in SF.... I think 3255 lost their drive train in QF too and another bot on their alliance in QF had issues too. It happens.

Basically in this game expect to be broken, and bring every spare part possible. We let our alliance down due to that our shooter was jamming in SF, we are doing everything possible not to have that issue next week in central valley. We'll need to be flawless to beat that amazing world-class field. But we have practice
