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

I dont think its entirely fair to keep 237 from this "competition"...

The competition was created after the first week. Thusly, the first week should not be considered for eligibility. (Wow I think that qualifies for the weakest arguement ever)

And if you don't buy that, at least give 237 a case of Bawls or something for being the closest of anyone at any regional of week 1 (to my knowledge)

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

Alright, add 1493 to the list. We have done it in our shop, though we have a much smaller field... like 15' X 15'. I am hoping that our code stands up to the larger field, but I feel that there should be an extra award for the lowest numbered team that accomplishes the feat.

Good luck to everyone, if we don't manage to do it, i really hope someone else does.

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

Does it have to be the center goal? Can we cap one of the side goals. Does a practice match count as a real FIRST match? You might as well have said, 1403 show us your autonomous and we shall all praise you.... we accept your challenge. I guarentee you that we will cap it, but i am not sure if it will be the center goal. Their is no need to mail that trophy, just bring it to nj with you......


GO 1403!!!

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

The original offer stands- first to cap per above gets a TIKI like the ones we use as BE trophies.

No discussion-- wasn't that clear?

I hear lots of talk- but can the bots walk the walk?

Close ain't good enough. If you have a late regional- well better pray nobody beats you to it. Probably not an issue because it can't be done.

How about if all you guys who claim to be able to do it send MY TEAM the donuts if at the end of the Nationals the bet still stands? Big Mike and I sure like those Krispy Kremes.....

WC




As for Aroon- I'll bring the TIKI to you personally if you do it. Of course you need to be able to actually reach the center goal -- slap! he he

and for the 237 guys- you can beat out Aroon's team at NJ by doing it first. If you can.......

Remember- an official match, center goal in autonomous as stated above.

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

I want a box of KK for predicting that the first team to cap the center goal with a vision tetra will be..................




237



I am in no way associated with 237.

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

I technically agree, but I am biased.

However, how about this:

100 points for the team(s) who cap the center at their first official competition (ie: Regional)
90 points for second competition (Regional or Championships)
80 points for third competition (Regional or Championships)
70 for fourth competition (Regional or Championships)
and so on and so on.

This gives everyone a fair chance, and also carries over from weekend to weekend.

So, in our scenario, if someone does not cap this weekend (weekend 2), but two teams cap in weekend 3, then those two teams points are based on how many competitons it took them to do it.
And if 2 or more teams cap this weekend, then you follow the points system by how many events it took them to do it in. (1 or 2).

Sound fair?

Stephen, by your response I'm guessing nobody from Heatwave told you they could? But from Winged Wonder's earlier response I'm thinking PINK is going for it also, that's one team I wouldn't put it past. But I assumed Heatwave would be all over that challenge. Of coarse combat would get it figured out. Nor MiM or 945 for that matter.

After seeing how the scoring has gone, I think if you had an alliance partner capping in auto during the finals, that could be a really good partner. So UCF might be stacked in the finals. That would be very cool to see 2 go head to head. Although UCF might also become the place where you'll see some defensive auto routines if this is the case

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

Is first being measured in local time, absolute time, or match number? If absolute time, it seems like the east coast teams get a large advantage otherwise.

EDIT: Or is this to compensate for the 3 extra hours of build time that west coast teams get?

It will certainly be heated at regionals to see who can be first to cap in auto.
