High Scores

[cbudrecki]

What are the highest scores this year? Watching the VCU webcast, and the highest there is only 130. Theoretically, the highest possible winning score would be 380/375. (This would give you a win and the 375 ranking pts.) I'm sorta dissapionted that teams are struggling to break 100. I think human players need some more practice shootin' hoops.

They've had a couple of 170's in Portland

I think i saw a 5-15 match in a webcast yesterday. I think that was the lowest i've seen. But other than that, nothing really specail aobut the scores.

Do scores have to be high to be exciting? The final match at VCU was awesome....Final score came out as 45-40. Both teams had many previous rounds that they managed over 100. This was by far the best round I observed.

We won one 5-0.

Thanks to penalities we managed to win, otherwise we would have lost.


But it killed our ranking points =/

At GSR I think it was about 150. We had a 140-something match, and a 130-50 match.

At richmond, I believe the highest for a team was 140, but their opponent only had 70 points. However, I believe the highest combined score was 125-120 when all 4 bots hung on the bar. Please correct me if I am wrong.

140-145 at BAE with teams... 40, 138, 213, and 319 I think.

The highest at richmond was int he finals when the alliance had 140. The highest overral match score in VCU was 125-120 when the 4 of us hung on the bar.(yay, we can hang!) Thats the only time all four robots hung in any of the regionals thusfar. Most of the winning scores in the qualifiers were in the 60s.

in NJ the highest I saw was 140-something other then that a lot didn't really break a hundred. Friday was relatively a lower scoring day then Saturday.

Highest at BAE was 150 pts.

I think the reason a lot of high scores aren't being had is because most teams cant effectively get the small balls to the HP's. I thought many more bots would concentrate on small balls, but most are bar hangers. Only 3 robots could pick up the small balls and carry them around in NJ. Herders/pushers just didnt seem effective enough. Small balls are the basis of the game to some. Its a Bar VS Ball game this year.

The high score on Friday in NJ was 140.
It was tied on Saturday during a finals match, and not to be outdone, one of the teams that made the 140 score on friday had a score of 150 on Saturday!
(BTW, it was us... but it was scored aligned with different partners each time though!)

Yeah there were two that were 170 in Portland, one was without anyone on the bar, just both goals filled and capped.

The other i think was with two hangers and some scored balls, im not entirely shure though since i didnt see it.

The reason for the low scores isnt usually because of bad shooters, many teams including us had 90+ percent shooters, it was a matter of getting the balls to the shooters that was limiting.

Basically hanging was the big points and the balls were the tie-breaker if each side had a hanging robot, although occasionally there were three on the bar
