05 World Wide High Scores

[HaWkeYe15]

WOW 98?!?!?! I can barely believe that!!! thats just crazy!!
Now we have to wait a whole month until we get to go to our competition... i cant wait!!

I wont say this is a boring game, because it isnt. Week 1 may have been packed with low scores, and TONS of penalties, but by week 4 or 5 scores should increase a good 10 points per match as teams get used to avoiding penalties.
Even during day 2 of competition the scores went up significantly. Especially during the elims, where penalties happened FAR less than during the qualifying matches.
The bottom line is, the final match in VCU was a 1 point win, and usually, that means it was one exciting match.
The way this game is designed, the best, and most exciting matches, wont be the ones with incredibly high scores. Because to get a high score, you have to own almost all of the goals, and that typically would mean it was a pretty lop-sided match. The most exciting matches are going to be the ones with scores like, 29-28, 38-35, ect, where both alliances are going to have a row or two, and then it comes down to the amount of tetras in play. The 98-0s, or the 76-10s, while 1 team will get excited, the audience will not feel the same way.

I believe the highest scoring match that was decided by only 1 point was a match with 217, 229, and 1370 (i forget their opponents) winning a very close 38-37 match. Congrats to all teams involved.

The highest score at VCU, the 98 shocked me. I saw tetra's EVERYWHERE. I forgot the other two teams besides 401.

345, 346 were 401's partners. Trust me, I had a bird's eye view of this "match"

I don't recall this match, and also know that we (229) never played on the same alliance as 217. However, in the second match of the semifinals: 1507,772,229 vs. 237,217,340 I believe there were 25 tetras scored total.(That is if I counted correctly) That averages 5 per team since 340 was a solely defensive robot, however it was not the only defense played in the match. Overall, it was an impressive match to watch.

Ah, man, my memory is eluding me. I am pretty sure it was a match with 1370 and either 217 or 229, and I am positive that it was 38-37. I'm not a whole idiot.... just half.

245 and 766 had the first highest score in Sacramento, even though our team mate 100 was broken. We paired up in the finals (along with 1072) and were in the 70's the majority of the time, and tied our high score once.

We reached 93 in Israel

179 broke a 100 today i think it was like a 113 to be exact, dont quote me on that

Yeah it was 113. Who were the other two robots?

I am the driver for 401 and we were part of the alliances that had the top 2 scoring matches at the VCU regional. Eventhough our 98-0 win with 345 and 346 was awesome, our opponents didn't have great stacking arms so they just tried to slow us down by getting in the way.

The second highest score at VCU was 76-15 which happened in the second round of the semifinals. 401 capped the far back left while 435 capped the center goal with 10 seconds left. Both robots and 122 sped across the field to get behind the line with 1 second left. We had 4 rows, 8 tetras capped, 2 tetras underneath, and the 10 point bonus for a total of 76. This round was against great opponents so I feel it was a better match than the 98-0.
