Predictions for Season High Score

[Tom Bottiglieri]

The current high score of 257 will stand through champs.

That makes 285. I think it will happen in a stacked CMP qualification match.

At NE Champs, the #2 seed alliance of 195, 125 and 2168 had multiple runs with a 70 point auto due to 195's two ball capability. I doubt there would be a triple scale in a qual match, but it depends how much teams change between now and Champs.

Agreed. It took a complete lack of presence in the secret passage for 257 to happen, and that quite simply will never happen again. Not to mention an alliance with the quality and depth to find three very proficient high goal shooters like that.

Very true. The programming of our sally port and draw bridge crossing is actually based on the code that 254 posted on their impressive, smooth and precise drive train motion control. We studied how they managed fairly complex motion like their auto in 2014 that allowed them to park up against the low goal before tossing the ball into the target to guarantee they couldn't be defended against.

Thanks to their willingness to share how they did it, we came to realize that the motion control profiles they described did not need to be restricted to just the drive train motors. Our Sally Port and Drawbridge crossings are pretty much automatic (in teleop, the operator just has to hold down a button as the programming goes through the motions). We use a system similar to their drive train motion profiling but we add in the 2 axes of our arm to go along with the motion of the drive train. To program the motion, we took our robot and placed it in front the defense. We manually put the arm into the starting position, recorded the encoder values and then moved the arm to what appeared to be a good "next position". We did this several times and recorded encoder values of the arm and the drive train encoders until we had moved the robot completely through the defense. Then we created code that would interpolate the encoder positions based on time and we just feed new position values to the Talon SRXs for the arm joints and do a similar position control of the drive train (using Victor SP's) at approximately 50 times per second. There are plenty of videos of the results.

Thanks again to team 254 for sharing their valuable insights (and code) on how to get the most out of the robots we build.

Our HP's prediction- the Einstein finalist alliance will set the high score in division semis.

My prediction- 257 will remain the world high score until IRI.

Lead qualitative scout- 272 in Einstein semis.
