Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
2003: Wild Stang (it was the only one I remembered, hence I must have liked it)
2004: Gompei and the HERD (Just plain smart and simple) 2005: The Pink Team (233) Wow Just Wow |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
I have a special fondness for the TechnoKats 2004 "First Frenzy" autonomous routine that scooped the ten-point ball off the tee for later delivery to the human player.
(I'm not saying it's the best automode I've seen, but the question asked for our favorite.) |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
2004 - I liked 33's autonomous. They basically were guaranteed to get the ten point ball during autonomous. They got their box-shaped robot to just drive by and have a wire looking thing to just knock both balls off. I sat there and thought, why didn't anyone else think about that?! Last year, our autonomous worked EVERY single time we practiced at school and then we got to the competition and it worked sometimes.
2005- Definitely 980 and 233. Everyone knows the reasons. ![]() |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
Im going to have to hand it to Pink (233?)on this one, the autonomous mode loading two tetras from the loading docks in 15 seconds... Its a beautiful thing to watch. *golf claps for Pink's programmers*

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
I definatley liked 66's auto.. if im not mistaken they did cap a center goal at Great Lakes just seconds before the auto.. time peroid ended.

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
2003-111 definitely; they had an amazing autononous that year
2004-not really any favorites from that year 2005-233-they would knock down the tetra then go the autoloader and pick up two tetras, when i first saw it at ucf i was amazed 111-one of the only teams that got the camera working, i was on the field one match were the came so close to capping a vision tetra on the center goal 22-they would cap the center home goal then turn around and knock down the tetra (i forget which order they did it in but i remember that they did those 2 things in auto) |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
190 in 2004 for sure. 233 And 980 in 2005 though they were amazing very nice. Pink was loading two from the autoloader at the archmedies finals on saturday it was pretty crazy and 980 well I dunno words don't explain that one, video anyone to show it to the others who weren't privileged to see it.

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
The autonomous mode I'm going to remember for the rest of my life would have to be the first time we tried ours out at a drive practice session. Apparently, the programmers didn't think to set the speed lower than they thought it should be the first time and work up; they set it at full. We turned it on, and the next thing we knew it was zooming across the field. It nearly decapitated our driver, scared the living daylights out of a few grandparents and younger sibs on the sidelines, and pretty much pinned a mentor to the wall.
The moral of the story: too slow is better than too fast in the case of autonomous testing. |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
My all-time favorite auton has to be 190's in 2004. It was just amazing to see them perfectly get to the bar, not the easiest job with a 30" wide robot in a 32" wide path and hang perfectly. It was perfect.

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
2003: Wildstang...In the national finals mode when they knocked down both stacks and went to the top of the ramp....I pretty much knew who was winning that one!
2004: Technokats were the only ones that I remember to bring the 10 pt ball into play, which I thought was pretty cool. It may not seem like it, but we (33) used almost every robot function in our 2004 auto mode....shift to high, drive to ball tee, deploy whips, articulate chassis to prevent tipping, run ball-o-fier to suck up any balls in the way, shift to low, reverse, move chassis back to normal driving position, and reel the hanging hook out....all while keeping track of wheel rotation and angular rotation. I was pretty impressed with what Kevin and Jim were able to do...especially without a prectice bot or any pre-ship time to code. 2005: 33's cap the center and knock down the side one was pretty cool, I was impressed when I saw that one. The video I saw of 980 looked pretty awesome too, great job! |

. Back on topic, 980's auto is quite insane, I was pitted right next to the practice field and saw them working all the kinks out of it till it was perfect....and insane. Kudos to the 980 coder, you guys have an awesome auto every year. ![]() Also.... to ANY team that even TRIED to use the camera for the vision tets, I congratulate you. |

Re: Favorite Autonomous Mode
what happened this year HOT >? .. . did you guys run outa memory to include an autom ? i know that drive control code must be HUGE!.. still sweet how you guys start verticle! eheh !
i love team 66s autom! i saw it cap side goals in great lakes.. and i wish they were able to score the points in champs *they capped it but their arm wasn;t removed it time for points*.. . our robot was able to cape the center home row goal with a preloaded and i thought taht was pretty cool.. but ..then i saw some of these teams .. and i was like WHOLE CRAP!.. i liked 1680s auto how they cap the center home with preloaded then knock down the hanging tetra with a BROOMSTICK! ahha! YEA! . . they were awsome in toronto .. our alliance made a record for the FASTEST home row,, under 4 seconds... we knock down one sid.e. 1680 other side and middle.. it was cool! |

Back on topic, my favorite autonomous modes this year were from Pink (only saw them on the practice field in the pits, but dang was it fast!) and the Huskies (team 65). Both picked up off the autoloader in autonomous which in retrospect is what our team should have worked on. It would have been much more beneficial to us to start the match with two tetras in hand. |

My team, ThunderBots, had a really good autonomous mode at the Championships, but it was disappointing that we could not get our vision tetra routine to be 100% reliable. We spent a great deal of time on it.
With our practice robot in our workshop, we were able to have the camera find a vision tetra, drive to it, pick it up and cap the center middle goal. We did it several times. But, of course, it needed a little help from hand-held spot lights to illuminate the colored triangles and the disable switch was useful when it took off in the wrong direction.... Much of the time we could get pretty close. Since we had feedback controls for each of the arm movements, the autonomous program we did use was very reliable and easier than the vision tetra version.But, my personal favorite was in the 2003 Stack Attack game. From the starting position our robot, Yoda, swung a long gravity-assisted telescoping arm that toppled all but the far stack of bins into our side before any robot could make it up the ramp. Many opponents got stuck in the "Sea of Bins". The only way to retract the ginormous arm was to raise it straight up so gravity would pull it back together and a latch would keep it stowed for the rest of the match. Then, still in autonomous, we would drive up the ramp, over the platform, extend 2 wide arms and push all the bins down the ramp. In 2004, Team 190, Gompei and the HERD, had the most complex and amazing autonomous. The whole robot was designed to make it work. |
