Re: 2006 St. Louis Regional
Yup, St. Louis regionals were definatly intense. What ever happened to 1625 (Winnovation) I thought that thing was for sure going to win. I guess those new strategies worked out. Congrats guys!
Im still trying to remember what 71 looked like. Those were some tough teams. And just watch out for 1706 next year. Our first two years wern't too good... but just wait hehe. |

Re: 2006 St. Louis Regional
I can't believe it's Sunday night and there aren't any pictures of 71 yet.
Does anybody have them? I can't sleep! Maybe it's better off that way, I have a bunch of tests to study for. Suspense for pictures of Beatty are a good study aid. |

Re: 2006 St. Louis Regional
Sorry I still don't have a picture of 71 to post here. Maybe a little more detailed description will help:
The 2006 Beast barely fits in the sizing box and its construction is a very solid aluminum frame enclosed in 1/16" polycarb skin -- a see-through robot. It has a well-protected swerve drivetrain with four of the small IFI traction wheels driven by CIMs through spur gearing, with two Globes to steer. The configuration is a tall shooter with front sweeper, and the upper section of the robot functions as a top loading hopper; they shoot three-pointers very effectively and also sweep well. Their sweeper can also function to score in the side goals, but they did not use that capability often in matches that I saw. Their shooter is high enough to make blocking their three point shots nearly impossible, and they give at least as good as they get in pushing matches, even against shifting 6WD drivetrains. They were using <R35> style bumpers at STL. They can be (and were) tipped by pushing them up the center ramp and then quickly backing off. No other strategy that I observed was able to do more than just slow them down. My opinion is that this strategy should be ruled intentional and disallowed under <G22>. Another opinion: 71's ideal alliance partners will be very powerful hopper/dumpers. Yet another opinion: 71's alliances will be very hard to defeat if their autonomous scoring is not disrupted. I would not be at all surprised if they rack up ten three-pointers in autonomous. |

Re: 2006 St. Louis Regional
On behalf of the drivers of Team 537 I'd like to extend thanks to teams 71 and 547 for being great teammates as well as picking us to be your teammates. I enjoyed loading 71 up so they could score all those 3 pointers. We'll see you in Atlanta!
Also, team 537 should have some sort of highlight video up by the end of the week, or at least footage of the elimination rounds. |
