And 703 as well, particularly when on the ramp.

Chief Delphi 47 also has a good shooter.

Re: Who are the better shooters?

At MWR...

71 - Superior accuracy, but slow shooting
111 - Shoot from anywhere quickly
1213 - Their aiming device on the back... the LED sight was awesome!
648 - (Biased) Awesome when not on their back... hopefully that will be fixed for WMR

Re: Who are the better shooters?

I'm just wondering how good was 494 at Buckeye? and teams 74,107, and 141, when they competed. All of these teams are around me.

Re: Who are the better shooters?

I really noticed team 341, 293, 237 and 103 at the Chesapeake Competition.
All of these teams did a great job as far as shooters goes; also in autonomous.
If i remember right, Team 293 and 103, together scored 57 points in autonomous period; unfortunately the match was reset because of the field problems.

I had the great fortune of watching 254 in the eliminations at SVR (through the webcast, of course...) While I thought it would be pretty easy to defend them from the ramp, they proved that any opening is a big enough opening, and fought their way each time to score the load of balls they had. Even when they WERE denied from the ramp, they had enough range to shot from off the ramp and still make 10 or so balls. The opposing alliance spent so much time trying to defend just 254, that they didn't do much of anything else. (No offense to the other finalists) I was thoroughly impressed with that bot, and especially their drivers.

However, I still think that there are a handful of other robots that can give them a run for the money. And, as I've predicted before, I believe that the finals on Einstein will be 6 extremely offensive robots, with 3-pt scoring balls flying all over the place. The teams that have the quickest turn-around time between loadings and firings will be the most successful. And, 254 (and it's twin) certainly has to be included in that bunch. Other teams that fit this bill include 126, 343, 125, 435, 229, 1126, 111, 1114 (and twins...) and I'm sure a slew of others that I haven't seen yet. I'm looking forward to some great, high scoring matches.

BEN

Re: Who are the better shooters?

From Great Lakes, I can vouch for the niagra triplets (1114, 1503, 1680) as some of the best shooters out there: forget the fact that they don't have a turret; their powerful and tractive drivetrain (tank treads) more than makes up for that, because they can hold their ground well. In addition, they have a huge area from which they can shoot.

At Detroit, my favorite shooters were (coincidentally, two birds) 217(Thunderchickens) and 703(Pheonix): 217 had a 270-degree turret with pitch angle control, and a nice revolver-type ball storage organizer that let them put their shots out quick. 703 also sports tank treads, and is an excellent shooter from both the on the ramp, and along the base of the ramp.

And from what I've seen in pictures and video, 111 Wildstang is also going to put out an awesome show.

We do like to get on top of/near the base of the ramp, because it's that much harder to defend us if we successfully get into either position.

However, we most certainly are not limited to those two spots

Re: Who are the better shooters?

From what I have seen and heard about from people here is my list

111
222 - they don't get much recognition but they are pretty fast if they get set in place on the ramp.
217
469
1114
1126
1503

The twin is RAWC - Team 968, who has yet to compete.

Pushing camera-driven turreted shooters from the side is like trying to kill an elephant with a toothpick. Even if you do manage to dislodge them from their position, it most likely won't be enough to stop them to any great degree.

GET IN FRONT OF PEOPLE! Especially robots with low-mounted launchers.

As a wise man once said in a great movie....

"Get in front of the d@*! ball!!! Don't give me this OLE' bs!"



Once they dialed in their camera and turret, 494 was quite effective at the Buckeye Regional.

Low center of gravity is a must for shooting from the ramp. Which is what all the robots have that shoot there. As for at the championship for them, if they get picked or pick two other good shooters, then its going to leave one open robot during there offense period. But when you think about it, all the alliances at Einstein will be offense minded like last year.
