Is 868 driving for 1747 or is 1747 just wearing 868 shirts?

Finals 7. THE deciding match. 179 keeps 2826 on the field, while 2451 remains on the field for 16. 179 and 1619 break out the alligator and bucket of water once more, while 195's alliance prepares for the match. The countdown begins. "3...2...1...GO!" says the MC. As soon as the match starts, no robot goes for the high goal. 179 and 1619 fill the moat and place the alligator into it. The crowd is stunned by the other alliance's response as 225 turns into a mechanical dragon and takes flight. As soon as teleop starts, 225 goes for 2826, preparing to breath a ball of fire. Then, 2826's driveteam presses a button, and their robot turns completely into water. 225 is unable to burn up Wave, and goes for their tower instead. No matter how many boulders 1619 shoots, they are burned up by 225. The field reset crew notices and runs off to open more boxes of boulders. At this point, the MC gives up on trying to narrate the match. Seeing that their alliance needs help, 233 runs to the field with their robot, enables it, and tosses it onto the field to assist their team. 16 does the same thing moments later. 233 launches Greek fire into the tower, causing the electricity to short and the tower health lights to go off. Meanwhile, the alligator in the moat attempts to eat 195's robot to no avail, as their robot is alligator-proof. 2451 seems to be the only team that is successfully scoring points. The final thirty seconds begin, and 16 stops on the field. Their drivetrain has broken again, and people from the Bomb Squad start freaking out. 179, 1619, and 2826 climb the tower, with 233 getting on the batter under 179. 195 and 2451 make some last minute shots, and 195 climbs. 2451 climbs, and makes their endgame shot. 225 has stopped, their driveteam preparing for something truly unbelievable. With five seconds to go, 225's dragon grabs 16's robot and flies to the top of the tower with it. They set it down and transform back into a robot. With one second left, 225 grabs onto the tower and pulls up high enough to scale.

It is deathly silent in the room as everyone tries to process what just happened. The anticipation of the score keeps the room quiet, as everyone is on the edge of their seats to find out what it is. The final score arrives. By a difference of five points, Cyber Pwnage Bomb Fire wins the 2016 Indiana Robotics Invitational, with a final score of 295-300. The crowd goes wild, and no one can believe anything that just happened.

When the finals and awards ceremony conclude, the teams say a teary goodbye to each other, knowing that many of them will be attending a different championship and will never see them again.

Those are my predictions. What are yours?

TL;DR: Nope. Read the whole thing.
I'm not sure 233 would park on the batter under 179, as I don't think it would count as a challenge anyway, let alone with four robots on the field. Unless there's an exception made...

I also predict that at some point, 910 will fill a moat with liquid nitrogen, rendering any robots that cross it with rubber/plastic wheels and/or tires undrivable.

Re: IRI 2016 Predictions

You can challenge underneath a hanging robot and get the 5 points, but to capture all three robots need to be on a unique face.

This came up on Galileo Quarter 4 - match 1.

Re: IRI 2016 Predictions

I'm willing to bet that Q97 will be the highest scoring qualification of IRI, and quite possibly 2016. 2056/118/4587 is how you break a record.

Re: IRI 2016 Predictions

Thoughts after day 1.

Secret Passage Abuse - Over and over I see teams getting destroyed by letting balls pile up in their secret passage. It's never a good idea to get stuck in a situation where you have 6 balls behind the glass. Throw them out far of your secret passage! Don't let them clog up! One match I saw 179 was unloading like 12 balls because they were all in the secret passageway and nobody stopped them.

Neutral secret passage defense - I saw you 4039! While it may have not been executed to a "T" it definitely made an impact. Sitting in front of the secret passage and keeping those balls in the secret passage is super strong. Force them to try to get into the area, reduce them to one robot scoring at a time. Block them from getting in/out. And if they don't come free balls for your scoring robots!

Notable teams

1405 - Causing the biggest courtyard havoc I have seen all season! Phenomenal play and stepping up your target selection since worlds. This team will be very scary to play against on the field in elims.

1241 - Not having the best of luck, and have hit some snags. Still putting up massive amounts of points. Will be curious to see when they get picked up.

195 - Best two ball auto at IRI, scoring left right and center.

3015 - Funny how two of the defensive players that I really noticed were on the world championship alliance. 3015 also seemingly making a huge impact on the field. Saw one match where they just slowed down EVERYTHING. Great work guys!

3683 - High ranked robot that just consistently gets the tower strength down. Pretty solid defense too. Hang is super reliable. Who ever said you needed to high goal to rank high?

Re: IRI 2016 Predictions

I could see alliance selection/final rankings going a number of different ways tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see. Great job to all teams today, and good luck tomorrow!

Fun Fact: There were four matches today where at least one alliance scored over 200 points.

And we were in half of those.

In Q60, our alliance had a total of 22 high goals, so I'm saying a score over 300 is definitely possible in elims.

Uh, yes. Simbotics didn't do much at IRI.

All they did was sweep their Saturday morning matches, seeding high enough to pick 195, 225 and 1405. Their alliance put up 70 in auton, 19 teleop high goals, and a triple scale in SF2-1. Then they did it again in SF2-2, for two consecutive record scores, beating our alliance by 50 pts each time. Not much.

If they had kept up that pace, the #1 alliance would have been in serious trouble. Smart move to have 33 play D in the finals.
