REWARD OFFERED: A CAPPED VISION TETRA ON THE CENTER FIELD GOAL

You heard me-

Team 25 Raider Robotix is offering one of our official trophy TIKIS (sans base) to the first programmer of a FIRST team that manages to autonomously find and place a vision tetra on the center goal.

You heard it- you cap it- you prove it- you got it. I'll mail it. Of course this must be in an official FIRST round in an official FIRST event and be recognized as such by having the field referees award the two corner goal tetras as a result.

Don't even talk to me until you actually do it. Close isn't good enough.


I say it can't be done-- Nyeah nyeah!!!!!

WC




(BTW- this is NOT a cheap way to clean out our storeroom closet)

Re: REWARD OFFERED: A CAPPED VISION TETRA ON THE CENTER FIELD GOAL

Meh, we could do it right now if we had a competition... the thing is that other teams that have competitions sooner then us will be able to do it before us. Maybe a second judging criteria? Like, if you cap at your next competition your entered into a pool. Then the winner is chosen by the fastest cap, cleanest cap, or maybe who had the most percentage of caps to matches.

EDIT: I just got back from a really tiring lacrosse practice, so this may have not made much sense.

Re: REWARD OFFERED: A CAPPED VISION TETRA ON THE CENTER FIELD GOAL

Tom: Good point... i'm not sure what could solve that... but it still falls under the "If we had a competition earlier we could've done it" problem
Stephen: I honestly don't know what I meant when I wrote that about... a minute and twenty seconds ago. Maybe like, the less jerkiness of the bot?

Additional Reward

Additional Reward:

1 Box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts to the programmers of each of the first four teams to cap a vision tetra on the center goal in autonomous at Nationals.



If you think you are going to be in the running in Atlanta, send me a PM or an e-mail before the competition so I can be sure to witness the feat.

I'd say that is defined by placing the tetra on a Goal, with out having to tap it so that its one completely. But if this is used, it should be a tie breaker only. I do like the idea of the fastest cap wins. And another tiebreaker would be like Mike said, highest percentage of autonomous vision caps to matches.

Proposed Rules
1. Winner has fastest autonoumous cap at their first competition.
2. First Tie breaker- Highest percentage of autonomous vision caps to matches
3. Second Tie Breaker-Cleanest placement of tetra (see above for definition)


oh and great thing about this set of rules is, you can give them the award directly at the Championship, save on shipping.

Whoa! That's sounds like some competition! Visit my BitTorrent tracker at http://ldeffenb.dnsalias.net:30049 and download the 20050222 Tetras.torrent. That'd be our Ty-Rap V capping the center in the wee hours of the morning of ship day.

Sounds like there'll be TWO robots to watch for at the Central Florida Regionals. Oh, by the way, this is our FIRST regionals.

And what if nobody capped at our first competition? But we were by far the closest.
